　　Medical researchers believe that when a woman is pregnant, her body is under a lot of stress, such as rapid weight gain in a short period of time. At 18 weeks of pregnancy, the pregnant woman's heartbeat increases to twice the usual rate, and all body systems of the pregnant woman are under high load and operating at high speed. At this time, any congenital defects in the body will appear and manifest as complications during pregnancy. These diseases are actually an early warning of diseases in women as they age.

　　Nev Sattar of the University of Glasgow, UK, reported in the British Medical Journal on the relationship between preeclampsia during pregnancy and the risk of heart disease after delivery. Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication that usually occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The incidence rate is about 10%. Women who are primiparous, women pregnant with twins, and women with a family history are more susceptible to the disease. During the onset of the disease, the blood pressure of pregnant women suddenly rises, the edema worsens, and headaches appear. distended pain , dizziness, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.

　　Sattar's research shows that when a woman has preeclampsia in more than one pregnancy, baby at the same time still premature birth When they are underweight, the hardness of their heart blood vessels and blood viscosity are high, and their risk of heart disease at the age of 40 is 10 times that of ordinary people.

　　Sattar said people always think male The risk of heart disease is higher, and women in their 40s often do not think that they have heart disease, leading to delays in diagnosis. Therefore, women with a history of preeclampsia should have their blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels checked regularly, especially in their 40s and 50s.

　　Studies have shown that preeclampsia during pregnancy and breast cancer、stomach cancer , ovarian cancer, lung cancer, laryngeal cancer and other cancers have a certain relationship. There is also a link between severe morning vomiting and stomach ulcers during pregnancy. Sattar said that when women are pregnant, they should pay more attention to their body's reaction, follow the doctor's advice, and be "well aware" of their future health.
