Summary:

Pre-eclampsia is the development of hypertension during pregnancy and the most common and the most potentially serious complication of pregnancy. It affects one out of every ten pregnancies, yet there is little known about the disease. This work informs pregnant women, family practitioners, and midwives of this usually symptomless, but often dangerous condition. It includes several illuminating case histories. Written by an expert in the field and a medical journalist who has suffered from pre-eclampsia, this book is a comprehensive and accessible portrait of the disease. It details all that is currently known about the origins and treatment of pre-eclampsia, and also provides advice for pregnant women.
