Chronic Hypertension Disorders (BEFORE pregnancy or BEFORE 20 weeks!)

a) Pre-eclampsia
b) Gestational hypertension
c) Chronic hypertension with superimposed pre-eclampsia
d) Gestational diabetes

Answer 1

Chronic hypertension disorders before pregnancy or before 20 weeks include pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension, and chronic hypertension with superimposed pre-eclampsia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chronic hypertension disorders that occur before pregnancy or before 20 weeks include:

1. Pre-eclampsia: A disorder characterized by high blood pressure and damage to organs such as the liver and kidneys. It usually occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
2. Gestational hypertension: High blood pressure that develops during pregnancy but resolves after delivery.
3. Chronic hypertension with superimposed pre-eclampsia: Pre-existing high blood pressure that worsens during pregnancy, leading to pre-eclampsia.

Gestational diabetes is a separate condition characterized by high blood sugar levels during pregnancy.
