Viagra Prevents Pre-eclampsia?!?

Recent research suggests that pregnant women could take Viagra to deal with pre-eclampsia (which is what Elizabeth was diagnosed with while pregnant with Dorothy, and which is why Dorothy was induced a month early):

The anti-impotence drug Viagra could be used to treat a pregnancy disorder which can prove fatal for mothers and babies, researchers suggest.

Another beneficial side-effect was seen, too: Husbands were observed to be more relaxed and happy. Some insisted treatment should continue even after birth of the baby. ;-)
