Prevent Preeclampsia to Protect You & Your Baby
Description
Preeclampsia affects around 5-10% pregnancies, and increasingly we are learning new ways to lower risks. Here's how.
In this episode, we are joined by OBGYN and maternal health leader Dr. Amanda P. Williams to talk about what every parent and perinatal professional should know about preeclampsia prevention, warning signs and treatment.
Yes, this episode is all about safer pregnancies and healthier babies.
You’ll learn who’s at higher risk, why low-dose aspirin and a home blood pressure cuff can be lifesaving, the postpartum warning signs that should never be ignored, and how doulas, partners, and families can advocate when it matters most - we even include scripts so you will know exactly what to say.
Enjoy!
