                       PREGNANCY - INDUCED HYPERTENSION, FORMALLY CALLED TOXEMIA IS A COMBINATION OF SYMPTOMS WHICH INCLUDE HYPERTENSION, OEDEMA AND ALBUMINURIA (INCREASED PROTEIN "ALBUMIN" IN URINE) . IT IS A TERM APPLIED TO PRE-ECLAMPSIA WHICH IS DEFINED AS APPEARANCE OF SWELLING ON THE FACE AND HANDS AND ALBUMINURIA USUALLY AFTER THE 20THE WEEK OF THE PREGNANCY. IT USUALLY TAKES PLACE WHEN THERE IS A SUDDEN WEIGHT GAIN AND THIS WEIGHT GAIN IS DUE TO FLUID RETENTION RATHER THAN DUE TO TISSUE BUILDING. IT CAN AFFECT THE MOTHER'S KIDNEY, LIVER, AND BRAIN AND IS ALSO A LEADING CAUSE OF FOETAL COMPLICATIONS, WHICH INCLUDE LOW BIRTH WEIGHT, PREMATURE BIRTH, AND STILLBIRTH.

                     HYPERTENSION DURING PREGNANCY IS OF TWO TYPES - MILD PREGNANCY - INDUCED HYPERTENSION AND SEVERE PREGNANCY-INDUCED HYPERTENSION.

                CONSTIPATION

                          CONSTIPATION MEANS HARDENING OF STOOLS, THEREBY RESULTING IN DIFFICULT EVACUATION OF THE INTESTINAL CONTENTS. THIS RESULTS IN ABNORMAL EVACUATION OF BODY WASTES AND LAZY ELIMINATION.

                        CONSTIPATION IS A COMMON COMPLICATION AMONG MOTHERS DURING THE LATER HALF OF THE PREGNANCY. THIS COMPLICATION AFFECTS APPROXIMATELY 70 PERCENT OF PREGNANT WOMEN. LUCKILY, THIS IS A MINOR COMPLAINT OF THE PREGNANCY AND CAN BE PREVENTED THOROUGHLY WITH YOGA THERPY AND SOME MODIFICATIONS IN THE DIET.
