Preeclampsia is a dangerous condition that can happen during pregnancy, usually in the second half (after 20 weeks). It can also happen during labor or soon after the baby is born.
People with preeclampsia have high blood pressure. They might also have too much protein in their urine, or problems with organs like the liver, kidneys, brain, eyes, or placenta. (The placenta is the organ that brings the baby nutrients and oxygen and carries away waste.) Also, the baby might not grow well and be smaller than normal.
