Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it also comes with health challenges that need early detection and expert care. One such serious condition is Preeclampsia, a high blood pressure disorder that can endanger both mother and baby if not identified and managed on time.
At Aashakiran IVF, North India’s most trusted and fastest-growing IVF chain, we emphasize preventive care and early screening as part of our comprehensive maternal health program. With our expert team across Kharar, Ludhiana, Amritsar, and Bathinda, we ensure that expectant mothers receive the support and testing they need for a healthy pregnancy.
What is Preeclampsia?
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific condition typically occurring after the 20th week of gestation. It is characterized by:
- High blood pressure
- Protein in the urine (proteinuria)
- Swelling in hands, feet, or face
- Sudden weight gain
- Headaches or visual disturbances
If untreated, it can progress into severe complications like eclampsia (seizures), organ failure, placental abruption, or preterm birth.
What is Preeclampsia Screening?
Preeclampsia screening helps in early identification of women at risk. The screening usually takes place in the first trimester (11–14 weeks) and includes:
✅ Blood Pressure Check: Baseline BP helps track any rising trends.
✅ Uterine Artery Doppler Ultrasound: Checks the blood flow between the uterus and placenta.
✅ Blood Tests:
- PAPP-A (Pregnancy-Associated Plasma Protein-A)
- PlGF (Placental Growth Factor)
These markers help assess placental health and function.
✅ Maternal Risk Factors Assessment:
Doctors evaluate:
- First pregnancy
- Age above 35
- Obesity
- History of hypertension or diabetes
- Autoimmune disorders
- Family history of preeclampsia
Importance of Early Screening
Early detection through screening allows doctors to initiate preventive measures, such as:
- Low-dose aspirin therapy (after 12 weeks)
- Lifestyle modifications and dietary guidance
- More frequent monitoring of blood pressure and fetal growth
- Timely interventions to avoid emergency complications
At Aashakiran IVF, we believe early prevention is key to ensuring safe pregnancies. Our centers are equipped with advanced fetal medicine units and offer individualized care plans based on screening outcomes.
