Preeclampsia is a serious condition that can occur during pregnancy. Affecting 5 to 7 percent of pregnant women, preeclampsia can occur suddenly and without warning signs, which is one reason why careful monitoring during pregnancy is so important. Treatment usually involves medications to lower blood pressure and sometimes hospitalization is required for more severe cases. If diagnosed early and managed effectively, preeclampsia can often be controlled, allowing the pregnancy to continue to full term or until a safe delivery is possible.

Signs and symptoms that may indicate severe preeclampsia:

• High blood pressure

• Increased protein levels in urine

• Headaches

• Elevated liver enzymes

Medical malpractice related to preeclampsia happens when healthcare providers fail to appropriately diagnose, monitor, or manage the condition during pregnancy, labor, or delivery, resulting in harm to the mother or the baby.
