Description
Placenta is the organ belonging to the developing mammalian conceptus which is never incorporated in the body of foetus but it is vital to the well-being of the baby in the womb and it offers protective, nutritional, respiratory, synthetic and excretory functions as well. Thus it exists as a vital link between mother and developing fetus. During pregnancy, maternal body in general and the uterus in particular, get acquainted to several physiological changes and after successful termination of pregnancy return back to the pre-pregnant stage. The outcome of pregnancy depends on many factors. One such factor is the health and wellbeing of mother throughout pregnancy. Any deviation from normal physiology would adversely affect not only the mother and foetus but the other gestational tissues as well.
Rise of blood pressure during pregnancy (gestational hypertension or pregnancy induced hypertension- ‘PIH’) is one of the most common causes of altered physiological process in pregnancy.
The diagnosis of gestational hypertension is made in women whose blood pressure reaches 140/90 mm Hg or greater for the first time during pregnancy.
Abstract (English)
Placenta is the organ belonging to the developing mammalian conceptus which is never incorporated in the body of foetus but it is vital to the well-being of the baby in the womb and it offers protective, nutritional, respiratory, synthetic and excretory functions as well. Thus it exists as a vital link between mother and developing fetus. During pregnancy, maternal body in general and the uterus in particular, get acquainted to several physiological changes and after successful termination of pregnancy return back to the pre-pregnant stage. The outcome of pregnancy depends on many factors. One such factor is the health and wellbeing of mother throughout pregnancy. Any deviation from normal physiology would adversely affect not only the mother and foetus but the other gestational tissues as well.
Rise of blood pressure during pregnancy (gestational hypertension or pregnancy induced hypertension- ‘PIH’) is one of the most common causes of altered physiological process in pregnancy.
The diagnosis of gestational hypertension is made in women whose blood pressure reaches 140/90 mm Hg or greater for the first time during pregnancy.
