A 34-year-old pregnant woman in her third trimester is being transported for emergency care. She presents with hypertension, proteinuria, and severe headache. What is the most likely complication she is experiencing?
Gestational diabetes
Eclampsia
Preeclampsia
Placenta previa
The most likely complication is preeclampsia, which is characterized by hypertension and proteinuria occurring after 20 weeks of gestation. The severe headache further supports this diagnosis. Eclampsia would also present with seizures, which are not mentioned in this scenario. Gestational diabetes typically involves issues with blood sugar regulation rather than hypertension and proteinuria. Placenta previa is characterized by painless bleeding without hypertension and proteinuria.
