2. Preeclampsia: approximately 5% of pregnant women develop preeclampsia (toxemia of pregnancy). In this complication, the increase in blood pressure accompanied by protein in the urine (proteinuria). Preeclampsia usually occurs between the 20th week of pregnancy and the end of the first week after birth. The cause of preeclampsia is unknown. but
more often in women who are pregnant for the first time, which brings
two or more fetuses, who had preeclampsia in subsequent pregnancies,
which already have high blood pressure or blood vessel disorders, or who
suffer from sickle cell disease. It is also more common in girls aged 15 years or younger and women aged 35 years or older.
3. Diabetes during pregnancy: about 1 to 3% of pregnant women develop diabetes during pregnancy. This disorder is known as gestational diabetes. Undetected
