imbalance.

Pre-eclampsia or toxemia

Severe, persistent headaches in pregnant women accompanied by inordinateweight gain, fluid retention, blurred vision and spots before the eyes are a

symptom of pre-eclampsia or toxemia (high blood pressure in pregnancy).

Sudden swelling of the hands, feet and ankles is also a sign of toxemia. A woman

with these symptoms may need to be hospitalized to bring down her blood

pressure or for fetal testing. Toxemia could result in complications like inadequate

fetal growth, premature labour or fetal distress during labour.

Morning sickness

Most people associate pregnancy with morning sickness. Pregnant women are

mostly affected by morning sickness in the first three months. However, if a

pregnant woman experiences prolonged vomiting over one or two days,

preventing adequate intake of fluids, it may lead to dehydration requiring

hospitalization.

Premature labour

When a pregnant woman develops fever and chills not accompanied by the

symptoms of a cold, she should be careful. A high fever can be dangerous as it

can cause premature labour. A sudden gush of fluid from the vagina may be an

indication of the premature rupture of the membranes in the last trimester of

pregnancy. When this occurs, an infection known as amnionitis develops the

symptoms of, which are fever, a discharge that gives off a bad smell and

abdominal pain. This is potentially dangerous for the fetus.

Urinary tract infection

Sometimes pregnant women need to urinate frequently. They may also feel some

discomfort during urination either as a burning sensation or a dull pain in the

lower abdomen towards the end of urination. These are the symptoms of a

urinary tract infection.
