Condition Description
Preeclampsia is a serious condition that can happen after the 20th week of pregnancy or after giving birth (called postpartum preeclampsia). In addition to causing high blood pressure, it can cause organs, like the kidneys and liver, to not work normally. Blood pressure is the force of blood that pushes against the walls of your arteries. High blood pressure (also called hypertension) is when the force of blood against the walls of the blood vessels is too high. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from your heart to other parts of the body. Having high blood pressure can stress your heart and cause problems during pregnancy.
