Today is #WorldPreeclampsiaDay (Preeclampsia is most often characterized by a rapid rise in blood pressure that can lead to seizure, stroke, or multiple organ failure). ❔DID YOU KNOW❔Preeclampsia rates are on the rise in the US and are a leading cause of maternal and infant illness and death. All women need to know the risk factors for developing high blood pressure during pregnancy. ‼️ Preeclampsia can occur in any pregnancy, so ALL moms should be aware of these symptoms: 1. Swelling of face (especially around eyes) or hands 2. Weight gain of more than 5 pounds in one week 3. Headache that won't go away even after taking medication 4. Vision impairment, such as seeing spots or flashing lights 5. Nausea or vomiting (especially suddenly after mid-pregnancy) 6. Belly/stomach pain in the upper right side 7. Difficulty breathing, gasping for air or panting *It is important to note, that some women with preeclampsia do NOT experience any symptoms, so be sure to maintain your prenatal appointments with your doctor* Postpartum preeclampsia can happen up to six weeks postpartum. It's important that women pay attention to specific postpartum symptoms, including severe headache, vision changes, swelling of the hands and face, and especially difficulty breathing.
