Between 25-34 % of women report that their births were traumatic.πŸ’”It is when the individual patient believes her life or that of her baby’s was in danger, or that a serious threat to the mother’s or her baby’s physical or emotional integrity existed.

We’re thankful to see preeclampsia shown accurately on TV. Every bit of awareness helps: recognizing signs and symptoms, tracking blood pressure, and understanding the profound impact of loss.

Many women with #preeclampsia will deliver healthy babies and fully recover. However, some women will experience complications, several of which may be life-threatening to the mother and/or baby. #maternalhealth #obgyn #mfm

Women who have had #preeclampsia have three to four times the risk of #HBP and double the risk for #heartdisease and #stroke. They also have an increased risk of developing #diabetes.

Although preeclampsia survivors are at risk of developing heart disease sooner than women with normotensive pregnancies, we know that heart disease takes years to develop. That means that patients can take steps now to reduce their risk.

β€œThe risk of preeclampsia with severe features was highest among women who were in the highest quartile of the control distributions for both biomarkers but not for either biomarker alone.”

Definitely an interesting thought experiment, but not totally convinced that preeclampsia could have been a singular cause of their population's decline.

It's a dangerous complication of pregnancy -- but a new drug holds promise Researchers celebrate early results of a drug that may become the first treatment for a serious complication of pregnancy called preeclampsia. It's got the potential to save many lives.

A big thanks to NPR for featuring an article about a promising candidate for a preeclampsia therapeutic, in development by Diamedica Therapeutics. While the research is still in early testing, researchers believe the possibilities are promising: www.npr.org/2026/02/14/n...

Findings suggest that term #preeclampsia, which is harder to predict because it develops later in #pregnancy, may be prevented in some patients by identifying risk close to delivery and planning birth before the condition fully develops.

Having a premature baby can also mean a great deal of emotional and financial stress for a family, especially when the mother is also unwell due to #preeclampsia #eclampsia, or #HELLPsyndrome. These parents need support from their loved ones.

In this study, researchers explored whether certain substances in the blood, called neurofilaments, could act as signs of brain stress or injury in people with #preeclampsia and help indicate how severe the condition might be.
