Back ground: Pre-eclampsia (PE) represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality in mother, fetus and infant in many parts of the world ,Previous trials have suggested that calcium supplementation during pregnancy may reduce the risk of preeclampsia In this study tested effect of nutritional calcium supplementation.
Objectives: To examine the effect of nutritional instruction about calcium dietary supplementation on the incidence of preeclampsia among high risk pregnant mothers.
Patients and Method: In this study 100 pregnant mother attending the antenatal clinic at two different hospitals: El-Manial Maternity and El-Nabawy el Mohandas Hospitals Data were collected through a period of 16 months began on 1/5/2014 and ended on 30/8/2015.

Result: The study results revealed that there was statistical significant difference was found between the two groups in all signs and symptoms of preeclampsia which include (weight gain, increasing BMI, edema, proteinuria, and blood pressure) that monitored during the study, therefore there is statistical significant difference was found between the two groups on the incidence of preeclampsia (X2=7.10, p=0.03), also there was statistical significant difference was found between the two groups the level of ionized ca in the 8th month of pregnancy the mean of calcium in study group was 4.24±0.51, while the mean of calcium in control group was 3.56±0.32 with statistical significant difference was found between the two groups (t=8.0, p=0.0001).
Conclusion: Nutritional instruction about calcium dietary supplementation lowered the incidence of preeclampsia among high risk pregnant mothers.
