ABSTRACT

Background: High blood pressure during pregnancy is the main cause of health problems for both the mother and the baby. The aim of this study is to see how moms with hypertension problems and pregnancy complications are affected, as well as their babies. Patients and methods: The study looked at the hospital records of pregnant women to learn more about their experiences. This research involved all the women who were allowed to be at the hospital and gave birth there. During the study, 200 samples were picked each month, chosen at random. The rules for who cannot be in the study are women who were sent to another hospital, have missing or incomplete information, or died before they could be diagnosed. Results: Our findings suggest that 25.4% of pregnant women have hypertension disorders. Severe preeclampsia makes up 40% of these cases, while preeclampsia accounts for 5% of all cases of hypertension disorders. Also, 525 out of 100 babies were born through the vagina, 5 out of 100 were born with the help of instruments, and 34 out of 100 were born through a cesarean section. Rewrite this text in easier words:. The research found that babies born to mothers with high blood pressure had lower Apgar scores (33%), were born early (32%), and needed to be in intensive care units (18%). Conclusion: High numbers of women in this area have high blood pressure during pregnancy, which makes it harder for both the mother and baby. To prevent bad effects on the mother and baby during pregnancy, doctors should check on them more often and act quickly if there are any problems.
