What Causes High BP During Pregnancy?

I am from Ernakulam. Now I am at Yemen. In 2009 March . I was pregnant. My date was Nov. 22. That time I am also here. But from 6th month I had a little B.P. ( 140) and the 6th month last I went to Kerala. .Then I check my B.P. that time it increased 180 level. The doctor gave the medicine. And after one week again check the B.P. but its not decreased. (Those times I am not feel the baby s movement.) Then she had done scan. She said the baby was dangerous condition. In side the fluid is very less and the baby has low weight . Then suddenly refer another hospital (EMC) and done the operation. The baby s weight 800g. only. And baby has many deceases. (Heart problem, Less plasma) after one week baby passed away. About this incident Can you clear some doubts. 1) why like this happened ? 2) If I again pregnant, have I get again B.P. ? 3) In 3rd month I had very itching in my urinal area. Is that is the problem of low weight baby ? 4) When I try again a baby ? ( Operation done last September )

HI,
Thanks for the query. I am sorry to read what you had to go through & understand your concern.
- High blood pressure in pregnancy is known to cause low birth weight / premature delivery & some times fetal loss also. So your early delivery can be due to high blood pressure.
- The vaginal itching you had in early months of pregnancy might have turned in urinary infection which in turn had caused blood pressure & low birth weight of baby..
- but the heart problem at birth, is not observed to be due to blood pressure.
- There is possibility of getting blood pressure in next pregnancy too. But stay cool, it can be very well managed by early diagnosis & regular medication treatment/ regular pregnancy checkups/few life style changes & mind concentration exercises along with positive thoughts.
-- if not genetic ( either of parents having heart problem in family ) Congenital heart problem can be prevented by - Rubella vaccination ( 6 months prior to conception )/ having iodized salt, folic acid in pregnancy.
Thanks.
