High blood pressure in late pregnancy, also known as pre-eclampsia, is high blood pressure in the arteries and affects 10% of pregnant women.
You live your pregnancy to the fullest, you don't feel anything, maybe from time to time a few headaches, visual disturbances, or ringing in the ears.
Then your obstetrician or midwife measures your blood pressure, which they confirm by taking a blood test: you have high blood pressure.
Don't worry, the main word on the prescription will be: rest!
Hospitalization will probably be necessary to monitor your health and that of your baby and to avoid complications.
