Preeclampsia is a condition that pregnant women can develop. It is marked by high blood pressure and a high level of protein in the urine. Preeclamptic women will often also have swelling in the feet, legs, and hands. This condition usually appears during the second half of pregnancy (often in the latter part of the second or in the third trimesters, although it can occur earlier).

Management of preeclampsia includes:
1. Adequate rest
2. Proper intake of food
3. Diuretics
4. Hospitalization if needed
