As you might have noticed, preeclampsia has been in the news a lot lately.  That’s a good thing, because it’s a dangerous condition for both mom and baby which has impacted the lives of many of our readers.  Now, you can read about a new study linking high blood pressure in pregnancy to certain viral infections over at my Women’s Health Blog.  In case you missed it, you can also find out more information about research into preeclampsia in these articles on the link between preeclampsia and angiotensin in the placenta, and possible screening tests being developed for preeclampsia.
