Pre-eclampsia

Caused by a defect in the placenta, Pre- eclampsia is the most common serious complication of pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia is symptomless in the early stages and is detectable only by regular antenatal checks on the mother's blood pressure and urine.

Risk factors include...

First-time mothers
Over-40s
Those with a BMI over 35
Women with a family history of pre-eclampsia
Where it is ten years or more since a last baby
Those suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes or kidney disease
Those carrying more than one baby
Those who have had it before

If your healthcare professional negligently fails to diagnose or treat your pre-eclampsia and this causes an injury to you or your baby you may be able to make a birth injury claim for compensation.
