Wednesday Antenatal clinic topic
Gestational Hypertension: Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH)

Gestational Hypertension also referred to as Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension (PIH) is a condition characterized by high blood pressure during pregnancy. Gestational Hypertension can lead to a serious condition called Preeclampsia, also referred to as Toxemia. Hypertension during pregnancy affects about 6-8% of pregnant women.

The different types of hypertension during pregnancy:
High blood pressure can present itself in a few different ways during pregnancy.
The following are the 3 common types of gestational hypertension:

Chronic Hypertension– Women who have high blood pressure (over 140/90) before pregnancy, early in pregnancy (before 20 weeks), or continue to have it after delivery.
Gestational Hypertension– High blood pressure that develops after week 20 in pregnancy and goes away after delivery.
Preeclampsia – Both chronic hypertension and gestational hypertension can lead to this severe condition after week 20 of pregnancy. Symptoms include high blood pressure and protein in the urine. This can lead to serious complications for both mom and baby if not treated quickly.

Who is at risk?
The following women may have an increased risk of developing gestational hypertension:

--->First-time moms
--->Women whose sisters and mothers had PIH
--->Women carrying multiples
--->Women younger than age 20 or older than age 40
--->Women who had high blood pressure or kidney disease prior to pregnancy

How do I know if I have Gestational Hypertension?

At each prenatal checkup, your healthcare provider will check your blood pressure and urine levels. Your doctor may also check your kidney and blood-clotting functions, order blood tests, perform an ultrasound scan to check your baby’s growth, and use a Doppler Scan to measure the efficiency of blood flow to the placenta.

How is it treated?

Treatment depends on how close you are to your due date. If you are close to your due date and the baby is developed enough, your health care provider may want to deliver your baby as soon as possible.
If you have mild hypertension and your baby is not fully developed, your doctor will probably recommend the following:

-->Rest, lying on your left side to take the weight of the baby off your major blood vessels.
-->Increase prenatal checkups.
-->Consume less salt.
-->Drink 8 glasses of water a day.
If you have severe Hypertension, your doctor may try to treat you with blood pressure medication until you are far enough along to deliver safely.

How will this affect my baby?

Hypertension can prevent the placenta from getting enough blood. If the placenta doesn’t get enough blood, your baby gets less oxygen and food. This can result in low birth weight. Most women still can deliver a healthy baby if hypertension is detected and treated early.
If your hypertension is severe, it can lead to Preeclampsia, which can have much more serious effects on mom and baby.

How can I prevent Gestational Hypertension:

Currently, there is no sure way to prevent hypertension. Some contributing factors to high blood pressure can be controlled, while others cannot. Follow your doctor’s instruction about diet and exercise.

Some ways you can help prevent gestational hypertension include the following:

-->Use salt as needed for taste
-->Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day
-->Increase the amount of protein you take in, and decrease the number of fried foods and junk food you eat
-->Get enough rest.
-->Exercise regularly
-->Elevate your feet several times during the day
-->Avoid drinking alcohol
-->Avoid beverages containing caffeine
-->Your doctor may suggest you take the prescribed medicine and additional supplements

Good morning mummies and Happy New Month
what I am asking for is not pregnancy related but I need help
I went for scan and I was told I have multicystic ovaries in which the dominant one is 19mm but when I googled it all what I am seeing is polystytic ovaries which differ from it
please ma can someone conceive with a multicystic ovaries
I did the scan 4days after my period

Multicystic ovaries, are ovaries are ovaries responding normally to lower than normal levels of pituitary hormones.

In both polycystic and multicystic conditions there is no need for any concern that the cystic pattern might be malignant or potentially cancerous. The cysts are in fact follicles which under a normal hormone environment would develop to produce mature eggs.The lack of appropriate hormonal stimulation has led to their growth but not to development into mature eggs.

Generally with multicystic ovaries, periods will be absent or extremely irregular. Egg production is rare or nonexistent and so infertility is the norm. However, this does not mean the ovaries
are in any way abnormal. They still have a full complement of immature eggs and so have the capacity to be stimulated to produce mature eggs.

If your doctor finds the multicystic pic on ultrasound he or she will inevitably ask about weight and personal stress.
If there has been weight loss, a diet to build up weight would be recommended. If stress is a major factor, counselling may be beneficial.

Any irregularities or concerns with your cycle? You will need to talk to your provider about it and possible way forward.

Hope this helps
One love always

P4perissos:
Please doctors in the house, or has anyone experienced this before?
I was admitted 2 months ago and I was given IV injection for 3 days. However, I was discharged and I have been having severe pain on the IV line. My left hand is practically useless cos of the pain. The wrist is so painful as well as my thumb.
I complained in the hospital during on of my antenatal visit. And the doctor said it will go. I should give it time. But the pain keeps on getting worse.
I bought rubb two days ago, I have been using it, only for me to see that methyl Salicylate is dangerous for the baby especially at third trimester.
Please I’m beginning to get scared o. The pain is much

Sorry about the pain. Do more of cold compress and rest the hand.Paracetamol will also help with the pain. Relax your mind about the rubb. The pain should start getting better gradually but if no improvement kindly see your provider .
How do you feel now?

The reading you posted are not right. Do you intend it the other way round? Is she on any medications and how far along in her pregnancy is she?
She needs to be closely monitored for her sake and that of the baby.

Seeing cervical mucus and having a regular cycle doesn't really mean you ovulate. You have to confirm you ovulate by either scans or ovulation test strips.

If you have the cysts as Informed by your doctor, taking drugs to stimulate ovulation will only cause you more problems. If you aren't comfortable with the communication from your doctor i suggest you change him and unless your friend is a gyne/fertility doctor please disregard her suggestions.

Good afternoon mamas
Please treat as urgent.
I have been admitted for BP stabilization. This morning it showed 182/110, now 169/98. The doctors said it's PIH (Pregnancy induced Hypertension). I was given an injection to mature baby lungs and placed on Aldomet. Going by LMP, I am 35wks. But scan says 34weeks 1day.
Please, apart from the Aldomet, what else can be used to stabilize the BP?
pls help. I am a FTM. I want to be stable and discharged ASAP
