The question you ask regarding toxemia is not a simple one, and it is
beyond the scope of this framework to give you a complete answer. You
should go to your local library for more complete information.
In general: toxemia, preeclampsia, or pregnancy-induced hypertension
(PIH) refers to a group of three or more symptoms experienced by the
pregnant mother. The signs and symptoms include: elevated blood
pressure, swelling of face and extremities, and spilling of protein in
the urine. This condition usually occurs in first pregnancies.
This condition requires frequent monitoring of the baby as well as the
mother. If you have more specific questions related to your pregnancy,
please see you health care provider.
