What you need to know about preeclampsia
Protecting your pregnancy: Understanding and preventing preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication that can put both you and your baby at risk. But understanding your risk factors, knowing the signs, and taking simple preventive steps—like checking your blood pressure regularly or taking a daily, low-dose aspirin as prescribed by your doctor—can make all the difference. If you’re Black or belong to a group that faces health disparities, your risk of developing preeclampsia is even higher. For example, watch Olympic medalist Allyson Felix share her personal experience with preeclampsia. The reality is that Black expectant mothers or parents experience preeclampsia at significantly higher rates compared to white people. That’s why it’s more important than ever to be informed, advocate for your health, and take proactive steps. Your health matters. Take a moment to explore the resources on this page, share them with others, and most importantly—talk to your doctor about your risk for preeclampsia and what preventive measures you should take to help protect you and your baby.
