  • "Mild pre-eclampsia affects up to 10% of first time pregnancies with severe pre-eclampsia affecting about 1 or 2 in a hundred pregnancies."

  • "Hypertension or high blood pressure is the most common medical problem that is encountered in pregnancy."

  • "Pre-eclampsia is the most common of the serious complications of pregnancy."

  • "In its early stages pre-eclampsia is symptom-less and is only detectable by regular antenatal checks on the mother's blood pressure and urine."

  • "Women with a body mass index over 35 may be of higher risk."
