Eclampsia in labour - what does this mean
Eclampsia in labour is a rare, but potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when a pregnant woman develops seizures during labour. it is caused by a combination of high blood pressure and other factors, such as preeclampsia, which can lead to a disruption of the blood supply to the placenta and can cause the mother to experience seizures.
What happens during the disease - eclampsia in labour
Eclampsia in labour is a serious medical condition caused by high blood pressure during pregnancy. it is thought to be caused by an imbalance in the hormones involved in the regulation of blood pressure, and the placenta's inability to provide sufficient oxygen and nutrients to the fetus. this can lead to the release of toxins from the placenta into the maternal circulation, which can cause seizures and other symptoms. if left untreated, eclampsia can lead to severe complications, including organ damage, stroke, and even death.
