Severe Complications in Pregnancy

There are some severe complications in pregnancy for women as follows


Placenta Previa

Placenta previa is the implantation of the placenta over or near the cervix, in the lower instead of the upper part of the uterus. The placenta can completely or partially cover the opening of the cervix. This occurs in 1 of 200 deliveries, and happens usually in women who have had more than one pregnancy.
Bleeding During Pregnancy
Bleeding during all phases of pregnancy can potentially be dangerous, contacting your doctor is necessary if this problem is experienced. Vaginal bleeding is the secretion of any blood coming from your vagina (the tract leading from the uterus to the external genitals).
Preterm Labour
Premature labour occurs if a woman has regular contractions that cause the cervix to start to open or thin out (called dilation and effacement) before the pregnancy has reached 37 weeks of pregnancy. If a baby is delivered before the 37th week, it is considered to be a premature birth.
Postpartum Depression
Depression occurring after pregnancy is called postpartum depression. Hormonal changes in a woman's body can sometimes trigger symptoms of depression. Post problems after pregnancy can sometimes be treated with mild antidepressants and the depression will lessen once the hormones in the body have settled down.
Sciatic Neuralgia
Sciatic neuralgia is a pain from the buttocks down the leg to the foot or just the buttocks and thigh. This pain may be accompanied by numbness or weakness in the affected area. This pain is caused by a herniated disc in the back and can occur after childbirth.
Toxaemia of Pregnancy
One of the common after pregnancy problems that also may occur during a pregnancy, is toxaemia. This pregnancy-induced hypertension is a dangerous condition that can happen during pregnancy. The blood pressure may rise significantly and the swelling of ankles and hands, sudden weight gain and protein in the urine may be experienced.

It is important to avoid pregnancy problems by taking good care of your body during a pregnancy. Complications in pregnancy cannot always be avoided but by making sure to recognise any signs of possible problems will certainly help.
