The hypertension together with the haemorrhages and the infections is considered one of the main causes of morbid-mortality during the puerperal period, presenting a high death risk in the period comprehended between the first 24 hours and the first week post-partum. Most of the hypertensive puerperal women leave the hospital in the first days after giving birth, and should continue their attention at the health primary level. With the purpose of answering the questions frequently asked by the medical staff taking care of these patients, we carried out a bibliographic review on the theme, exposing aspects related with the causes and facts favoring the arterial hypertension in the puerperal period, their incidence, complications, treatments and safety of some drugs during the breast-feeding; with all that we hope to contribute rising the quality of the medical care to the binomial mother-new born in this period.Downloads
