How to Prevent Pre-eclampsia
There are no reliable guidelines for preventing this condition. However, the following actions may help prevent pre-eclampsia or other problems related to pregnancy:

- Get your doctor's approval before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines.
- Do not smoke or drink alcohol during pregnancy.
