PIH
A rise in blood pressure that occurs during the second half of pregnancy, but without protein in the urine.
Preeclampsia
A multisystem disorder that occurs during pregnancy and is usually associated with high blood pressure and protein in the urine. Preeclampsia can also cause other symptoms, such as headaches, abdominal pain, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting, confusion, and visual disturbances.

pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH)

The cause of PIH is unknown. Some conditions may increase the risk of developing PIH, including the following:

pre-existing hypertension (high blood pressure)
kidney disease
diabetes
PIH with a previous pregnancy
mother's age younger than 20 or older than 40
multiple fetuses (twins, triplets).

What are the symptoms of pregnancy-induced hypertension?

The following are the most common symptoms of high blood pressure in pregnancy. However, each woman may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:

increased blood pressure

protein in the urine

edema (swelling)

sudden weight gain

visual changes such as blurred or double vision

nausea, vomiting

right-sided upper abdominal pain or pain around the stomach

urinating small amounts

changes in liver or kidney function

Treatment for pregnancy-induced hypertension:
Specific treatment for pregnancy-related hypertension

The goal of treatment is to prevent the condition from becoming worse and to prevent it from causing other complications. Treatment for pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) may include:

bedrest (either at home or in the hospital may be recommended).

hospitalization.

magnesium sulfate (or other antihypertensive medications for PIH).

fetal monitoring (to check the health of the fetus when the mother has PIH) may include:

fetal movement counting - keeping track of fetal kicks and movements. A change in the number or frequency may mean the fetus is under stress.
Non stress testing - a test that measures the fetal heart rate in response to the fetus' movements.
biophysical profile - a test that combines non stress test with ultrasound to observe the fetus.
Doppler flow studies - type of ultrasound that uses sound waves to measure the flow of blood through a blood vessel.
continued laboratory testing of urine and blood (for changes that may signal worsening of PIH).

medications, called corticosteroids, that may help mature the lungs of the fetus (lung immaturity is a major problem of premature babies).

delivery of the baby (if treatments do not control PIH or if the fetus or mother is in danger). Cesarean delivery may be recommended, in some cases.
