Choose a preferred language

Tener presión arterial alta después de la semana 20 de gestación o inmediatamente después de que se produce el embarazo puede indicar la presencia de una afección llamada preeclampsia. Si no se la trata, puede poner en peligro a la madre y al niño. Afortunadamente, la preeclampsia se detecta con facilidad durante las visitas periódicas de atención prenatal. Además, los controles minuciosos pueden ayudar a las mujeres que tienen la afección a mantenerse sanas y dar a luz bebés saludables. Para conocer la realidad, responda este cuestionario.

1. Tener presión arterial alta durante el embarazo siempre significa que tiene preeclampsia.


2. La edad de la mujer incide en el riesgo de que tenga esta afección.


3. El reposo en la cama es uno de los principales tratamientos para la preeclampsia.


4. La preeclampsia puede causarle convulsiones a una embarazada.
