Preeclampsia survivor here. Needed to see this to understand the biology of what happened to me and why. I developed preeclampsia in matter of few hrs and had 4gm of protein in urine when tested. Baby was delivered within fews hrs of diagnosis (we could only take one corticosteroid shot) and delivered my son at 29+3 gestational age. He’s almost 15months now (adjusted 1year)

[@katerinachochova]

Best explanation of Preeclampsia I've ever seen. I had severe preeclampsia 14 years ago, which lead to an urgent c-section in 28 week, my son was born weighing just 950 grams, fortunately he's perfectly healthy teen now. I never had the courage to have another baby though, since we both hardly survived that nightmare.

[@mustapha4276]

This means a lot to me because I have been trying to wrap my head around the pathophys and how it influences the clinical presentations

[@moniquefitzgerald7808]

You're a blessing. Thank you sooo much for sharing your knowledge with others. I just started in Labor and Delivery. This lecture is so helpful for a visual learner.

[@laurenalixandragresham9183]

This video was so easy to follow. I feel like I understand pre-eclampsia WAY better than ever before. Thank you!

[@22re53]

I love smart people. Makes the world just a better place to live and understand.

[@VittorioNapoli]

This is awesome, THANK YOU. I'll have Gynecology exam on Monday, so THANK YOU again!

Thank you for this succint description of preeclampsia and eclampsia. I has HELLP syndrome at 22 weeks and the doctors delivered my baby but they refused to save him because he was 22 weeks and had IUGR. They 100 % believed he would not survive. This happened three weeks ago and we had his funeral service yesterday. I have been tying to understand why this happened when I had no history of hypertension before pregnancy and not until my checkup at 22 weeks. The placenta was never studied so I don’t know if the blood vessels were abnormal. And I was not tested for any placental factors. But I had every symptom of preeclampsia you described. I had a BMI of 29 before peeganancy. I gained four pounds by 21 weeks and gained 10 pounds by 22 weeks definitely from edema. I had incredible neck pain and stiffness since week 20. I had really bad lower ligament pain since 15 weeks. I felt bloaded right between my chestbone by my stomach throughout pregnancy. Everything was completely back to normal two weeks after delivery. Do you know what I can do to decrease my risk of abnormal placental formation and preeclampsia in the future?

[@AnonJess]

First of all, I am so, so sorry for your loss. Secondly, unfortunately there is nothing you can do to control the proper growth of the placenta & umbilical cord. However, there are a few things you can do to keep the life-threatening symptoms in check. 1. Start low dose (81mg) aspirin 2x a day as soon as you find out you're pregnant. 1 in the morning, 1 before bed. Aspirin is a vaso-dilator and a blood thinner, which allows your blood vessels to relax and your thin blood is favorable for passing through those blood vessels. 2. Eat potassium rich foods. Potassium is key in helping kidney function, as HELLP is characterized by proteinuria and kidney damage. When you consume potassium rich foods, they allow for better kidney filtration. Bananas, dark leafy greens, sweet potatoes, etc. 3. Avoid sodium! HELLP is a type of hypertension, and hypertension is caused/made worse by eating a lot of salt. When you have HELLP, your kidneys hold onto sodium, which also contributes to the swelling that characterizes this disease. 4. Drink lots of water. 8-10 glasses a day is recommended. Make sure the water you're drinking is safe to drink. Lead poisoning from water has been linked to preeclampsia and HELLP. Drinking water with your potassium rich foods will help filter your kidneys to their best ability. 5. Relax. Put yourself into a healthy, calm mindset. Do light exercises like yoga, stretching, and walking. Stress is absolutely directly linked to hypertension, so avoid getting overly emotional (I know. It's almost impossible when you're pregnant). When you find yourself in a stressful or upsetting situation, stop and take a moment to take big, deep breaths and focus on relaxing yourself. Meditation has been shown to help this part of the disease. Again, I am so sorry this happened to you. I developed HELLP at 24 weeks and by some miracle I delivered at 26+3 and was able to save my son. Unfortunately as of right now, there are only a few hospitals in the United States (I don't know where you are) that allow mothers to deliver and try to keep their babies alive at 22 weeks. People are making pushes to change this. You and mothers in your situation deserve so much better. I will be praying that you have a healthy pregnancy and give birth to a healthy, happy baby. ❤️ Best of luck to you.

[@standuba]

doing review questions and watching these videos from khanacademy is the best combo ever for studying for the nclex.

[@emilyexorcismzombie]

Wonderful teaching! It is my dream to work in labour and delivery so I love learning about this stuff, I am currently an RPN. I know I need my bachelors and to write my RN to work in L&D but this may help me for the future! All the concepts explained here were very easy for me to understand.

[@callyslady3720]

To the narrator. I learned so much from your lesson and maybe picked up a slight Canadian accent? Thank you for helping me to understand. Very informative and thorough. I've always heard about this condition but am currently living this with my daughter.

[@cathygonzales544]

you are so detailed, but its still easy to understand you. All your cideos make so much sense thank u.

[@bayab9372]

Wow, amazing video to get whole information about gestational hypertension. I do not need to read a whole book to spend hours to try to understand. Thank you so much, please make more a video like this. Also, she is so calm, smooth, knowledgeable. 5 star

[@shenishaperkins946]

Thank you for explaining this so well. I recently suffered from preeclampsia with severe features.

[@samuela.asidor.n.4551]

Very well done! Exactly the kind of explanation I have been looking for and the drawings! Thank you!

[@umutdemirkan1884]

Great and understandable information. My wife just had early delivery due to seizures of HELLP and this video explained us what was the root cause after all.

[@ellenihagos1944]

what about now after that your wife have got safe pregnant or not please tell me.

[@iambianx07]

thank you so much for this video! I'm studying for the NCLEX and this has helped so much in understanding preeclampsia

[@mitramoreno]

Nice video! A note though, you state that preeclampsia always resolves with the delivery of the placenta, but there are in fact moms who develop preeclampsia postpartum as well. But overall very helpful! I work as an L&D nurse in Michigan and we see so much pre-E.

[@farihaharris4092]

I agree. I had no hypertension issue during or before pregnancy, but I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia around 35th week because of protein in my urine. I was induced at the starting of 37th week and after a week of delivery I had an episode of high blood pressure and had to rush to ER. Since then, I was put on medicine for HTN. Can you please let me know what are the symptoms of pre-eclampsia postpartum? How to diagnose it?

[@aqualife88]

Really loved this thorough explanation of preeclampsia!!

[@amukenamosescrespo3749]

Not bad. It is actually indeed a good explanation of hypertension in pregnancy. I understood the pathophysiology pretty well now. Thanks.

[@YTubeular]

Thanks for this! Well presented!! 🎉

[@Leveosaa]

Thank you for the clear explanation on this topic. I lost my twin boys at 22 weeks due to preeclampsia. I always wonder if things would turn out ok for all three of us if I push on with the pregnancy. Based on what I learned here, it's highly unlikely. This video helps me to find closure of what had happened. Thank you.

[@marionkomugisha1984]

Thank you so much. Now i get how the placenta comes into play.

[@stephanieuhr240]

Excellent video as usual however, new research states that delivery dies not cure preeclampsia as previously thought. Moms are at risk for up to 6 weeks postpartum. AGOC released new protocols in 2013.

[@mellisafrancis5355]

I have postpartum preclampsia never had problems with high blood pressure. At 39 weeks I was having severe symptoms of preclampsia they sent me home saying I had a uti that was causing all of this I gave birth and a day after had headaches that painkillers couldn't get rid of its 2 months now and I'm on high blood pressure pills I feel so unwell some days knowing I was this active mom I want to be healed of this condition I could have died and I can have a stroke seizure or brain damage if not properly monitored

Very good lecture! Nitpicking I know, but you probably the Starling Equation. Starling law is regarding the heart. It is also interesting if MgSo4 is used in every woman with preeclampsia in the US. In Norway it is only used if the preeclampsia is rapid, and severe. Thanks

Thank you so much! You are an awesome teacher!👏🏽👏🏽

[@moristhetiger]

In the history taking for the development of Pre-eclampsia : Pre-eclampsia may come from the mother in law of the woman who is pregnant - Probably pointing to the fact that it also has an auto-immune basis. X chromosomes have something to do with immunity - woman have 2 X chromosomes, this is probably one of the reasons why women are more likely to develop auto-immune diseases - for eg - Grave' s disease; Hashimoto's thyroditis; Multiple sclerosis; Myasthenia Gravis; Systemic Lupus Erythematosus(SLE)(Lupus); Rheumatoid arthritis; Sjögren's syndrome. It adds up because the husband of the woman who is pregnant has his X chromosome from his mother.

[@drx6489]

Thank u soooooo much and love u sooooo much .. Best of luck

[@michellekurtz1593]

I was wondering if you guys could do a video of postpartum preeclampsia, specifically preeclampsia that arises after the paper is born without any signs/symptoms of preeclampsia during pregnancy

[@Infidel_Jay]

Physiology student here. I had this condition. I was 19 years old and pregnant with my son. When I was 36 weeks I went for a checkup and my bp was 180/120. The doc did a urine test that checked for protein and it was positive. They immediately sent me over to be induced. 48 hours later my son was born. He was a healthy boy and weighed 5 lbs 8 ounces. we went home 2 days later. I heard if you have it once you can have it again. 6 years later I got pregnant with my second son. It went well until I was 33 weeks. I started having really bad pains. I went in to get checked, they told me I was bleeding pretty bad after doing an exam. They performed an emergency c section and my 2nd son was born weighing 4 lbs 12 ounces and had to stay in the NICU until his lungs were fully developed which was about 5 weeks. I often wondered I did develop preeclampsia again with my second son because as she lectured in this video it can lead to placenta abruption and that's what happened to me with my second pregnancy. I lost so much blood they wanted to give me a blood transfusion but I declined and opted for iron pills. I felt better within a few days but I don't carry babies well. My boys are now 19 and 13 years old and healthy as can be.

[@niloferakhtar8123]

I'm also going through delayed post partum preeclampsia after loosing a child. How are you now and for how long you are suffering from this?

[@betsycollins601]

@@niloferakhtar8123 Hello! I am so very sorry about your child. I too lost a baby back in 1993 due to an accident-she was 2 and my only child at the time. It is a deep dark valley of sorrow. My heart breaks for you. I had my last surviving baby back in 2006. I had high blood pressure for about 4 years (but treatment helped keep it stable). After 4 years, I slowly weaned myself off of the clonidine patch (you have to do this with some medications as rebound hypertension can occur), but when I finally came off that medicine, I was fine. Normal bp....I had lost a lot of weight and that helped me. Cutting out added salt helped-gosh I loved salt. You must get rest and put yourself first. I remember the swelling of hands, feet, and face, the uncontrollable spasms in the pad of my hands under the thumb...it was scary at the time. I ended up going back to work at teaching because I figured if I was going to have a medical emergency, it would be more likely that someone would be there to get me help if needed. I am so glad I did. I had been considering taking a medical leave-that would have isolated me more. Your symptoms will likely go away with time. I was grateful that at that time, I had had all of the babies I'd ever wanted. I hope you are also at that point in your life and if you are not, I pray if you decide to have more, you are free from this!
