Gestational hypertension is often developed during pregnancy. This can affect the development of the placenta. What are the preventions?
Hypertension in pregnancy is the leading cause for foetal problems like premature birth, low birth weight of the baby and still born baby. It also causes complications for the mother at the time of delivery. If a woman had already been suffering from hypertension before pregnancy, there are high chances she would experience hypertension during pregnancy. One of the tips to avoid hypertension in pregnancy is to reduce salt intake. Quit it to control high blood pressure. Vegetables contain natural salts and the extra sodium that you add causes high blood pressure. Your total salt intake should not be more than one tea spoon per day. Avoid chips, processed cheese and junk food to reduce your salt intake. Drink plenty of water and other fluids to prevent constipation. Orange, grapefruit and sweet lime contain rich amounts of Vitamin C, which helps to keep blood pressure level under control.
