There's been lots in the news lately about health during pregnancy. Especially interesting is what herbs (like ginger) can do for you safely, and also what new uses of drugs have been discovered -- like Viagra for Pre-eclampsia.So what is Pre-eclampsia? It's a condition that affects one in ten (10%) of pregnancies and kills up to five women and 600 babies a year in the UK. I don't know what the statistics are for the US or Canada. During pregnancy, arteries cross through the placenta. When they don't expand enough to let more blood through, the mother's heart has to pump harder to get enough blood and nutrients to the baby. She gets high blood pressure or worse, pre-eclampsia.
We all know from commercials and much talk that Viagra causes blood vessels to open and carry more blood to the penis. Researchers have discovered that Viagra will also open the arteries that cross through the placenta during pregnancy.
Of course, right now they've only experimented on rats, but all rat babies born after mother was treated with Viagra were normal weight and there were no deaths.
Let's hope there are no bad site effects from using Viagra during pregnancy -- it would save five mothers and 600 babies in the UK alone, every year. That's what I call a miracle! Get More Info
