Understanding the Risk Factors for Preeclampsia – MoMMAs Voices
MoMMAs Voices shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Preeclampsia and other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy occur in 5-8% of all pregnancies of women, including those who have none of the known risk factors (see below). It is more apt to occur during the first pregnancy. The most significant risk factors for preeclampsia are:
- Previous history of preeclampsia
- Multiple gestation (i.e., pregnant with more than one baby)
- History of chronic high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease or organ transplant
- First pregnancy
- Obesity
- Over 35 or under 20 years of age
- Family history of preeclampsia
- Gestational diabetes
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Lupus or other autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis and multiple sclerosis
- Thrombophilia
- In-vitro fertilization (IVF) or other assisted reproductive technology (ART)
- Sickle cell disease
- Obstructive sleep apnea
