Today, it is considered normal for twins to be born at 34 to 35 weeks and triplets at 32 to 33 weeks. The fact is that their nutritional needs are not being met. It is caused by not enough high-quality proteins and vitamins in the diet, and from salt deprivation. Women with MTLP suffer convulsions, coma, heart failure, shock and often death for both mother and baby. This can be very dangerous to both the mother and baby.
Blood pressure can rise for many reasons totally unrelated to pre-eclampsia.
Ninety percent of women have swelling of their extremities during late pregnancy, and 65 percent will have swelling of their hands and face. I won't blindly diagnose without a complete dietary history. Women exhibiting these symptoms, while following an adequate diet, have less infant mortality than the general population. The World Health Organization reports that there are 75,000 deaths per year worldwide from this disease. MTLP would be totally preventable, but people don't believe the missing link in its treatment is adequate nutrition.
