A member asked:
For high blood pressure and other symptoms of preeclampsia, what can i do to prolong the pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High blood pressure: For high blood pressure anything that you can do to lower your blood pressure will help. Things such as lying in bed, relaxing, remaining calm will help, in addition avoiding salty foods and those with caffeine will also help. The only treatment for preeclampsia is to deliver the baby before other symptoms develop.
