Answer
Anyone over the age of 40 is considered a high risk pregnancy first off. High blood pressure during pregnancy is caused by 1 of 3 things...
Chronic hypertension: A woman can have high blood pressure before she gets pregnant. Sometimes a woman has high blood pressure for a long time before she gets pregnant, but she doesn't know it until her first prenatal check-up.
Preeclampsia: This condition can cause serious problems for both the mother and the baby. It only happens in the second half of pregnancy. It causes high blood pressure, protein in the urine, blood changes and other problems. (The only cure for this type of high blood pressure is delivery of the baby)
Transient hypertension: Some women just get high blood pressure near the end of pregnancy. They don't have any other signs of preeclampsia.
As far as Toxins go, I am not sure what you are referring to, but I will take a guess most toxins would be an environmental toxin that the mother was exposed to in the early stages of pregnancy, but pre-eclapsia, can cause a dangerous state for both mother and baby.
Here is some more information I thought you might find helpful
What Are the Effects of High Blood Pressure in Pregnancy?
Although many pregnant women with high blood pressure have healthy babies without serious problems, high blood pressure can be dangerous for both the mother and the fetus. Women with pre-existing, or chronic, high blood pressure are more likely to have certain complications during pregnancy than those with normal blood pressure. However, some women develop high blood pressure while they are pregnant (often called gestational hypertension).
The effects of high blood pressure range from mild to severe. High blood pressure can harm the mother's kidneys and other organs, and it can cause low birth weight and early delivery. In the most serious cases, the mother develops preeclampsia--or "toxemia of pregnancy"--which can threaten the lives of both the mother and the fetus.
What Is Preeclampsia?
Preeclampsia is a condition that typically starts after the 20th week of pregnancy and is related to increased blood pressure and protein in the mother's urine (as a result of kidney problems). Preeclampsia affects the placenta, and it can affect the mother's kidney, liver, and brain. When preeclampsia causes seizures, the condition is known as eclampsia--the second leading cause of maternal death in the U.S. Preeclampsia is also a leading cause of fetal complications, which include low birth weight, premature birth, and stillbirth.
There is no proven way to prevent preeclampsia. Most women who develop signs of preeclampsia, however, are closely monitored to lessen or avoid related problems. The only way to "cure" preeclampsia is to deliver the baby.
How Common Are High Blood Pressure and Preeclampsia in Pregnancy?
High blood pressure problems occur in 6 percent to 8 percent of all pregnancies in the U.S., about 70 percent of which are first-time pregnancies. In 1998, more than 146,320 cases of preeclampsia alone were diagnosed.
Although the proportion of pregnancies with gestational hypertension and eclampsia has remained about the same in the U.S. over the past decade, the rate of preeclampsia has increased by nearly one-third. This increase is due in part to a rise in the numbers of older mothers and of multiple births, where preeclampsia occurs more frequently. For example, in 1998 birth rates among women ages 30 to 44 and the number of births to women ages 45 and older were at the highest levels in 3 decades, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Furthermore, between 1980 and 1998, rates of twin births increased about 50 percent overall and 1,000 percent among women ages 45 to 49; rates of triplet and other higher-order multiple births jumped more than 400 percent overall, and 1,000 percent among women in their 40s.

How difficult are panther geckos to care for?
Natalie
I'm 13 years old an want to get a panther gecko(s). Are they social, like can I have 2 and they won't hurt eachother? Can I hold them? Do the crickets HAVE to be alive, or can I feed them live and dead crickets/insects. And lastly if I get a boy and a girl can they have babies? And if anyone has any other information I would appreciate it!!! Thanks in advance!
Answer
SPECIES DESCRIPTION:
Leopard Geckos have been one of the most popular reptiles in captivity for over thirty years. They are one of the easiest beginner geckos to take care of. They are moderately handle-able, but are more for looking at and enjoying.
SIZE:
Leopard geckos are generally between 6 and 8 inches, although some reach nearly a foot. Hatchlings are between 2 and 3 inches, and are usually harder to raise and work with. Adult males are usually 7 to 9 inches and weigh between 70 and 85 grams. Adult females are usually 6 to 8 inches and weigh 65 to 75 grams.
LIFE SPAN:
Leopard Geckos are some of the longest living Geckos in captivity. Leopard geckos can live 10 years if properly cared for, although some males reach 20 years.
TEMPERATURE:
Leo's are from dry, arid climates, so their overall temperature needs to be with in 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. A special reptile light bulb from a pet store or a regular house bulb will be sufficient. Leopard geckos do not need any sort of special UV light since they are most active at night, which is the best time for viewing their natural behavior. Special under tank heating pads may be used, but must be used with caution due to the risk of burning the gecko's underside. Under tank heaters are best under a reptile carpet or a 1 inch thick layer of sand.
DIET:
Leo's are carnivorous. They eat small insects and on rare occasion, baby "pinky" mice. "Pinky" mice should only be feed to adult Leo's, and again only on rare occasion. Feeder insects include crickets, mealworms, superworms, and as occasional treats, waxworms. Leo's do best on multiple food sources rather than the same, monotonous meal at each feeding. Feeder insects should be gut loaded if possible to insure best nutrition for your Leo. Gutloading is the process of feeding insects with nutritious substances. Commercial insect feed or vegetables such as potatoes, lettuce, and other greens are sufficient. Feeder insects should also be dusted with a calcium powder that includes vitamin D3, and a vitamin powder. Calcium is especially important for juveniles and egg carrying females. Females carrying eggs take the calcium from their bodies to form the egg casings.
ENVIRONMENT:
Leo's typically do not need a great deal of space, but bigger is usually better. Too big though, may cause the gecko to stray away from their food and water. One gecko needs at least a 10 gallon tank, two needs at least a 20 gallon.
Substrate in a Leo's environment must be cautiously chosen, sand especially. Sand may cause impaction(the build up of sand or other indigestible matter in the intestinal tract) in Leo's under 6 inches and should not be used. With geckos over 6 inches, the risk of impaction is still there and should be used with caution. Always monitor geckos when using sand. News paper, reptile cage carpet, and tile can also be used as a floor for your Leo.
Hides are a necessity for all types of reptiles. Hides give your gecko a place to sleep, hide, or just chill. A Leo's tank should have a hot side and a cool side. both sides require a hide, so the gecko can pick where he wants to be. On the hot side, the hide must be dry. On the cool side, the hide must be moist and humid. A humid hide can be made by cutting a hole in a Tupperware bowl turned upside down. Place damp moss or a damp paper towel in the bowl to make the hide moist. The moist hide may not seem practical for a desert reptile, but it is necessary for the gecko's shedding and respiratory system.
Enrichment items are also necessary for your gecko to be happy. Rocks, plants, and wood are great for Leo's to climb on and interact with. Rocks and any other enrichment items should not be gotten from outside. Getting objects from outside presents risks to your gecko's health. Parasites, diseases, and pesticides are all possible from "wild" items from outside. If you still want to use items from outside, they should be boiled, baked, or burned to rid of any possible hazards. After the items have been sanitized, you may place them in the gecko's environment, but they should still be used with caution. Use as few items from outside as possible.
Also do not use too many rocks and plants because the gecko may be restricted to movement and be stressed out.
The number one rule with housing two geckos together is DO NOT HOUSE TWO MALES TOGETHER! Housing two or more males together is a recipe for disaster. Both males will fight to protect their turf and the fight will go on until only one gecko is alive. Males may be housed with multiple females or alone. Females are compatible with each other and may be housed together with no problems.
