Features of gestation, childbirth and the state of health of newborns in pre-pregnant women with chronic arterial hypertension

Aim. To analyze the features of the course of pregnancy, childbirth, the condition of newborns in pre-pregnant patients with hypertension. Materials and methods. 65 first-time pregnancies were examined, of which: group 1 (n=35) – first-time pregnancies with chronic arterial hypertension (O10.0 according to ICD X); group 2 (n=30) – first-time pregnancies with physiologically occurring pregnancy. The features of the anamnesis, the course of pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period, the condition of newborns were studied. Statistical processing was carried out using the program Statistica 6.0 for Windows. Results. It was revealed that the average age index (M±m) of women of the 1st group (38.6±0.22 years) was significantly higher than that of pregnant women of the 2nd group (26.6±0.22 years); p<0.0001. In women of group 1, pregnancy was complicated by a threatening abortion in the first and second trimesters (34.3 and 40%, respectively), 34.3% of fetuses had intrauterine development delay syndrome. Cesarean section was performed in 12 (34.3%) women of group 1. In group 1, during childbirth through the natural birth canal, in 13 (65.7%) after the birth of the fetus, the afterbirth separated independently in 11 (84.6%), in 2 (15.4%), manual separation and isolation of the afterbirth was performed. Conclusion. In pre-pregnant women with chronic arterial hypertension, pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period are complicated, with a high frequency of threatening abortion, cesarean section and increased blood loss in the postpartum period, low indicators of newborn health.
