Eclamsia??

  Hello
  Could someone please give me some info on Eclamsia (sp?) and/or Pre Eclamsia??  What are the signs, causes, symptoms, etc, etc??
Eclampsia and Pre-eclampsia are diseases that are unique to pregnancy.
These conditions typically develop at the end of pregnancy and result
in elevated blood pressure, swelling, and protein in the urine.
Eclampsia and Pre-eclampsia are the same condition, eclampsia simply refers
to the (very rare) occurrence of convulsions.
Although prenatal care providers have known about these conditions since
antiquity, we still aren't completely sure what causes them.  We also know
the vast majority of times pre-eclampsia (also called toxemia of pregnancy)
is not life threatening.  The conditions are cured by delivery of the baby,
usually by induction of labor and vaginal delivery.
