Can Pregnancy Be Carried To Full Term If Hypertensive?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... Hello. My friend is 4 weeks pregnant. Her doctor wants her to terminate because she is hypertensive and because she has had numerous abortions. She really wants to have this child. What can she do to have a healthy baby? Thank you.

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion any pregnancy with complication is continued only if the complication doesn't hamper the health of the mother.Presence of hypertension at this early pregnancy might be very difficult to control and also to ensure the proper growth of the fetus.So may be it was suggested for termination.Dont worry.The BP should be controlled before conception and then pregnancy should be planned for better results.Avoid stress.Also as she had previous abortions the investigations like antiphospholipid Abs and anticardiolipin Abs might be helpful.
Best regards...Dr Srilatha
