Our practice includes four Obstetricians who are highly trained to handle high-risk pregnancy cases and have extensive experience with hypertensive pregnancies.

Our hypertensive pregnancy patients are closely monitored throughout their pregnancies to protect the health of both the mother and her unborn baby (babies).

Atlanta Preeclampsia-Eclampsia

Preeclampsia or “toxemia” is a condition in pregnant women marked by high blood pressure accompanied with a high level of protein in the urine. Women with preeclampsia will often experience swelling in the feet, legs and hands. When present, preeclampsia usually appears during the second half of pregnancy. If preeclampsia is left untreated, it can lead to eclampsia and can cause seizures, coma and even the death of the mother and the baby. 

Preeclampsia requires careful monitoring of both the mother and the baby. Treatment may require activity restriction, bed rest, hospitalization or medication. If it is determined that your are experiencing preeclampsia, the doctors at North Pointe OB/GYN Associates can develop a plan to manage the symptoms, protect your unborn child and prevent eclampsia from occurring.

The practitioners from North Pointe OB/GYN Associates deliver at the Women’s Center at Northside Hospital-Forsyth. The Women’s Center at Northside Hospital-Forsyth is a beautiful, new, state-of-the-art facility conveniently located in Cumming, Georgia. The facility features a level II Neonatal Intermediate Care Unit, private labor-delivery-recovery rooms, private postpartum rooms, C-Section delivery rooms, a newborn nursery, a Center for Perinatal Medicine, a lactation center and A Woman’s Place (specialty health care boutique).
