Chicago Pre-eclampsia Attorneys

Aggressive Illinois Eclampsia Lawyers

Pre-eclampsia is a condition that affects a number of pregnant women. It involves unusually high blood pressure in the mother and is often accompanied by other symptoms such as excessive protein in the urine, headaches, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, swelling and weight gain. In most cases, pre-eclampsia comes on suddenly after 20 weeks but it can develop gradually beginning much earlier in the pregnancy.

While extremely serious, pre-eclampsia is very treatable. Left unchecked, however, full eclampsia can develop which could be life threatening to both mother and child. Eclampsia can cause serious complications of pregnancy to both mother and child, including seizures, stroke, coma, or even death. The mother's elevated blood pressure alone can cause placental abruption, the separation of the placenta from the uterus, which can cause severe bleeding and, in many cases, the death of the fetus. If a mother suffers seizures during pregnancy, labor or delivery, those seizures can compromise blood flow to the baby, and the baby's brain can be damaged by a lack of sufficient oxygenation.

Pre eclampsia is a relatively common condition that all obstetricians should be checking for with each patient. They have the responsibility to recognize and effectively treat the condition in order to keep the health of mother and child intact.
