Hypertension in pregnancy - Self-help
It is important to know the symptoms to look out for signs of hypertension. Even though the majority of women will have swollen limbs during pregnancy, whole body swelling and facial puffiness are not normal. Symptoms like headaches, vision problems and abdominal pains should imply an imminent complication. Even if you don't understand how the body works, if you think something is unusual then see your health care provider as soon as possible.
