Preeclampsia survivor here. Needed to see this to understand the biology of what happened to me and why. I developed preeclampsia in matter of few hrs and had 4gm of protein in urine when tested. Baby was delivered within fews hrs of diagnosis (we could only take one corticosteroid shot) and delivered my son at 29+3 gestational age. He’s almost 15months now (adjusted 1year)
You're a blessing. Thank you sooo much for sharing your knowledge with others. I just started in Labor and Delivery. This lecture is so helpful for a visual learner.
I love smart people. Makes the world just a better place to live and understand.
This video was so easy to follow. I feel like I understand pre-eclampsia WAY better than ever before. Thank you!
I have postpartum preclampsia never had problems with high blood pressure. At 39 weeks I was having severe symptoms of preclampsia they sent me home saying I had a uti that was causing all of this I gave birth and a day after had headaches that painkillers couldn't get rid of its 2 months now and I'm on high blood pressure pills I feel so unwell some days knowing I was this active mom I want to be healed of this condition I could have died and I can have a stroke seizure or brain damage if not properly monitored
doing review questions and watching these videos from khanacademy is the best combo ever for studying for the nclex.
such a good impart of knowledge... so clearly explained!
you are so detailed, but its still easy to understand you. All your cideos make so much sense thank u.
Very well done! Exactly the kind of explanation I have been looking for and the drawings! Thank you!
Now I feel more prepared for simulation today. Thanks for putting all that info in 13 minutes!
Thank you for this succint description of preeclampsia and eclampsia. I has HELLP syndrome at 22 weeks and the doctors delivered my baby but they refused to save him because he was 22 weeks and had IUGR. They 100 % believed he would not survive. This happened three weeks ago and we had his funeral service yesterday. I have been tying to understand why this happened when I had no history of hypertension before pregnancy and not until my checkup at 22 weeks. The placenta was never studied so I don’t know if the blood vessels were abnormal. And I was not tested for any placental factors. But I had every symptom of preeclampsia you described. I had a BMI of 29 before peeganancy. I gained four pounds by 21 weeks and gained 10 pounds by 22 weeks definitely from edema. I had incredible neck pain and stiffness since week 20. I had really bad lower ligament pain since 15 weeks. I felt bloaded right between my chestbone by my stomach throughout pregnancy. Everything was completely back to normal two weeks after delivery. Do you know what I can do to decrease my risk of abnormal placental formation and preeclampsia in the future?

First of all, I am so, so sorry for your loss. Secondly, unfortunately there is nothing you can do to control the proper growth of the placenta & umbilical cord. However, there are a few things you can do to keep the life-threatening symptoms in check. 1. Start low dose (81mg) aspirin 2x a day as soon as you find out you're pregnant. 1 in the morning, 1 before bed. Aspirin is a vaso-dilator and a blood thinner, which allows your blood vessels to relax and your thin blood is favorable for passing through those blood vessels. 2. Eat potassium rich foods. Potassium is key in helping kidney function, as HELLP is characterized by proteinuria and kidney damage. When you consume potassium rich foods, they allow for better kidney filtration. Bananas, dark leafy greens, sweet potatoes, etc. 3. Avoid sodium! HELLP is a type of hypertension, and hypertension is caused/made worse by eating a lot of salt. When you have HELLP, your kidneys hold onto sodium, which also contributes to the swelling that characterizes this disease. 4. Drink lots of water. 8-10 glasses a day is recommended. Make sure the water you're drinking is safe to drink. Lead poisoning from water has been linked to preeclampsia and HELLP. Drinking water with your potassium rich foods will help filter your kidneys to their best ability. 5. Relax. Put yourself into a healthy, calm mindset. Do light exercises like yoga, stretching, and walking. Stress is absolutely directly linked to hypertension, so avoid getting overly emotional (I know. It's almost impossible when you're pregnant). When you find yourself in a stressful or upsetting situation, stop and take a moment to take big, deep breaths and focus on relaxing yourself. Meditation has been shown to help this part of the disease. Again, I am so sorry this happened to you. I developed HELLP at 24 weeks and by some miracle I delivered at 26+3 and was able to save my son. Unfortunately as of right now, there are only a few hospitals in the United States (I don't know where you are) that allow mothers to deliver and try to keep their babies alive at 22 weeks. People are making pushes to change this. You and mothers in your situation deserve so much better. I will be praying that you have a healthy pregnancy and give birth to a healthy, happy baby. ❤️ Best of luck to you.
This is awesome, THANK YOU. I'll have Gynecology exam on Monday, so THANK YOU again!

this makes so much sense now thank you!!!
To the narrator. I learned so much from your lesson and maybe picked up a slight Canadian accent? Thank you for helping me to understand. Very informative and thorough. I've always heard about this condition but am currently living this with my daughter.
This was simply awesome. Elegant, comprehensive and just a pleasure to watch. Thank you so much :)
Thank you so much for the most precise lecture on preeclampsia :)
Thanks, I really needed to hear this! Also very well explained.
This video was an extremely helpful tool for a new Labor and Delivery nurse. Thank you so much for this much needed and well explained video!
Amazing presentation!!! Thank you so much, this was beyond helpful!!!
Was struggling to understand this!!! Thank You so much!🙏🏾
Thank you so much!!!! Very difficult topic for me to wrap my head around and you made this quite easy to understand. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! 😊
thank you so much for this video! I'm studying for the NCLEX and this has helped so much in understanding preeclampsia
Pure brilliance! Thank you so much for this informative video.
Wonderful teaching! It is my dream to work in labour and delivery so I love learning about this stuff, I am currently an RPN. I know I need my bachelors and to write my RN to work in L&D but this may help me for the future! All the concepts explained here were very easy for me to understand.
Your videos make a lot of sense and are very easy to follow, thank you so much
Great and understandable information. My wife just had early delivery due to seizures of HELLP and this video explained us what was the root cause after all.

Very clear, it all makes sense now, thank you
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain preeclampsia. It is very insightful. I appreciate it deeply.
Thank you so much. Now i get how the placenta comes into play.
Not bad. It is actually indeed a good explanation of hypertension in pregnancy. I understood the pathophysiology pretty well now. Thanks.
Amazing lecture... Nurse from Ireland here... really enjoyed that
Thank you so much! You are an awesome teacher!👏🏽👏🏽
Her voice is so sweet!
Wonderful.... Thank you for making things simple and interesting!!!
Pathophysiology crystal clear! THANK YOU :)
thank u so much for this lecture... & its only in 14 mins ... I learned so much within dis short period...
This was so good!! Thankyou
This is so very well explained! The best teacher!
Thank you. Extremely informative. Our doctor gave us very little information about this after telling my wife that she had it. Thank you thank you thank you
Thank you, for making this video!!
Excellent video thank you Joyce Cowan ( Director, New Zealand Action on Pre-Eclampsia)
You are a life saver.. Thank u so much 😘
The best explanation i have seen so far!!!
Wow, amazing video to get whole information about gestational hypertension. I do not need to read a whole book to spend hours to try to understand. Thank you so much, please make more a video like this. Also, she is so calm, smooth, knowledgeable. 5 star

Thank you for explaining this so well. I recently suffered from preeclampsia with severe features.
Nice video! A note though, you state that preeclampsia always resolves with the delivery of the placenta, but there are in fact moms who develop preeclampsia postpartum as well. But overall very helpful! I work as an L&D nurse in Michigan and we see so much pre-E.

I agree. I had no hypertension issue during or before pregnancy, but I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia around 35th week because of protein in my urine. I was induced at the starting of 37th week and after a week of delivery I had an episode of high blood pressure and had to rush to ER. Since then, I was put on medicine for HTN. Can you please let me know what are the symptoms of pre-eclampsia postpartum? How to diagnose it?
wow...so much impress . thank you very much
Amazing video, Thank you!
thank u so much....very beautifully explained
Simple and easy to follow. Thank you

amazing, thank you very much for explanation
the way you explained..:-) thank you very much
In times like these counting on these videos help out a lot
thank you soo much!
very knowledge gaining nd amazing lecture
WOW!!! why have the doctors & specialists not explained any of this to my 18 yr old who is in hospital right now getting ready to be induced at 36 wks due to POSSIBLY getting worse, not because she is getting worse ??
Excellent source for med students, thank you!!
Awesome and one of the best videos ever...keep it up
Thank you very much, i now have better understanding
It was really helpful for my biology study!!
thank you!
Wow just another amazing lecture!!
pretty nice video...thank u
Such a great lecture!!!
Thank u soooooo much and love u sooooo much .. Best of luck
Why do you get seizures? What's the mechanism? Or is that unknown?
Excellent video as usual however, new research states that delivery dies not cure preeclampsia as previously thought. Moms are at risk for up to 6 weeks postpartum. AGOC released new protocols in 2013.
Best explanation on line by far!
Thank you for the clear explanation on this topic. I lost my twin boys at 22 weeks due to preeclampsia. I always wonder if things would turn out ok for all three of us if I push on with the pregnancy. Based on what I learned here, it's highly unlikely. This video helps me to find closure of what had happened. Thank you.
Amazing video
But if she discovered her chronic hypertension after 20 weeks, how do we make the deference between it and gestational hypertension?
I just wanted to add protein in the urine is not necessary for diagnosis of preeclampsia anymore. The APA changed it.
It was an amazing video!!! Thank you so much!!!
it's awesome video with lots of information
Thank you :)
wow very good ! even Ten Teachers Obstetrics textbook does not provide explanation as easy as this despite being the bible for obgyn! Thanks for saying my time !
Thank God you were created.
Thank you
Thanks Doc
In the history taking for the development of Pre-eclampsia : Pre-eclampsia may come from the mother in law of the woman who is pregnant - Probably pointing to the fact that it also has an auto-immune basis. X chromosomes have something to do with immunity - woman have 2 X chromosomes, this is probably one of the reasons why women are more likely to develop auto-immune diseases - for eg - Grave' s disease; Hashimoto's thyroditis; Multiple sclerosis; Myasthenia Gravis; Systemic Lupus Erythematosus(SLE)(Lupus); Rheumatoid arthritis; Sjögren's syndrome. It adds up because the husband of the woman who is pregnant has his X chromosome from his mother.
thank you...
I love the insight of differentiating between gestation and pre existing HTN. #birthinglittlehumans
Thank you thank you thank you !!!!!!
Thank you! I really loved it! , I will subscribe :)
thanks!
Very useful video. Thank you!!!!!
thank u finding it so hard to understand pre eclampsia
perfectly done
I'm confused. Is hypertension occurring to compensate for decreased O2 supply or is it purely a symptom of endothelial cell damage? just wondering in relation to treating hypertension, if it is a compensatory mechanism wouldn't it be harmful to lower the blood pressure as less blood would make it to the placenta? or is it a situation where we are trying to lower BP to avoid damage to mum but not cut off supply?
