What is "toxemia"?
Toxemia, also known as preeclampsia, is a serious condition that can occur during pregnancy, typically after 20 weeks. It is characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to organs such as the liver and kidneys. Other symptoms may include protein in the urine, swelling, sudden weight gain, headaches, vision changes, and abdominal pain. Toxemia can lead to complications for both the mother and baby, including seizures, premature birth, and low birth weight. Treatment may involve bed rest, medication to lower blood pressure, and close monitoring by healthcare providers. In serious cases, early delivery of the baby may be necessary to prevent further complications.
