Pre-eclampsia
Just HOW dangerous is it?
My pregnant SIL has really high blood pressure and "likely" has pre-eclampsia. Im obviously curious about how common it is and how dangerous it really is. A couple quick searches make it seem really really bad.

Not great, but almost always manageable from what I know.

Very dangerous. Life threatening if left uncontrolled.

But if diagnosed, monitored, treated... everything should be good?

Yes. Sometimes leads to an early delivery, but not many Americans die from it as long as it’s taken care of.

Just needs to be monitored and treated. If she can be diagnosed early…

Manageable. Do what docs say.

My wife had it. She had bed rest and ultimately a C-section.

Really dangerous. Everything about it should be taken very seriously.

Potentially disastrous. Usually everyone ends up ok but has to be managed
