Abstract
A 25-year-old parturient, para 2-0-1-2, at 36 weeks gestation, was admitted to the labor floor complaining of seeing spots before her eyes and sudden weight gain. Blood pressure was 180/120. There was a history of two previous cesarean sections under general anesthesia, indications and uterine scars unknown. Details of prenatal care during this pregnancy were unobtainable.
