Article Abstract:

Women who develop eclampsia in the third trimester of pregnancy may have a worse outcome than those who develop eclampsia shortly after birth. This was the conclusion of a study of 399 women with eclampsia. Eclampsia is characterized by convulsions that occur during pregnancy, along with kidney and liver failure, neurologic defects, and even death.
