    Aim: To examine the effects of the earthquake that occurred in Elazig on January 24, 2020 and the COVID-19 epidemic that spread throughout Turkey on April 1, 2020, on the pre/eclampsia spectrum. Method: The study was conducted by retrospectively examining the files of pregnant women who applied to the Fırat University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology for birth between July 1, 2019 and March 1, 2021. The cases in group 1 were determined by examining the pregnant women who gave birth between July 1, 2019 – January 1, 2020, those with pre-eclampsia, HELLP syndrome, and superimposed preeclampsia, and the cases in group 2 with the same diagnoses between September 1, 2020 and March 1, 2021. Results: A total of 605 deliveries took place between July 1, 2019 and January 1, 2020 (group 1). A total of 654 births took place between September 1, 2020 - March 1, 2021 (group 2). While the incidence of preeclampsia and related diseases was 4.8% in group 1, it was 7.5% in group 2 (change rate +56.2%). Severe preeclampsia (+103.3%) was the disease whose frequency increased the most after maternal stress. Conclusion: In the study, it was determined that maternal stress significantly increased the incidence of preeclampsia and related diseases. After events that cause severe stress, health care providers need to be prepared.
