It is very important that the entire placenta be removed after delivery. My aunt died of "toxemia" in 1950.

Great question! In ...Hi LibraryHungry and Cameron,<br /><br />Great question! In severe cases, the effects of preeclampsia can persist for hours or days after delivery. The most common time of seizure is either during labor or within 24 hours after delivery. For this reason, we continue magnesium for 24 hours postpartum. In addition, we look for signs of disease resolution, like improvement of symptoms, normalization of blood pressures, and improved urine output. The longest postpartum I have ever seen a woman seize was 10 days, and it has been reported even longer, but not more than about 1 month.Veronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15964741259011338227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3854201798313168634.post-68837755884691852762013-01-31T08:31:58.491-05:002013-01-31T08:31:58.491-05:00Hey Veronica,

My memory was that delivery (either NSVD or section) was the "cure" for preeclampsia...is there a window of danger after the birth itself?
