Exercise & Preeclampsia

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication in which blood pressure increases and blood flow to the baby decreases. The only effective treatment for preeclampsia is to deliver the baby, contributing to the growing epidemic of preterm deliveries. Regular brisk walking or other moderate physical activity done throughout pregnancy can significantly lower your risk of preeclampsia. (The benefit is even greater if the exercise is started prior to pregnancy.)
