🤰 Did you know low-dose aspirin may help lower the risk of preeclampsia for some pregnant women?

In this video, Dr. Seth J. Herbst, an OB-GYN with HCA Healthcare, explains what preeclampsia is, who may benefit from low-dose aspirin and why talking with your doctor about your personal risk is an important part of prenatal care.

According to March of Dimes, preeclampsia affects 1 in 25 pregnancies, and many people may not know they’re at risk. Every pregnancy is different, so talk with your doctor about your risk and whether low-dose aspirin may be appropriate for you.

Through our partnership with March of Dimes, our broader HCA Healthcare network is helping raise awareness about preeclampsia, the importance of risk screening and conversations that can support healthier pregnancies.

If you're expecting a baby, congratulations! 🤰During this exciting journey, it helps to know about conditions that could affect your health, including placenta accreta spectrum, or PAS. This condition happens when the placenta attaches too deeply into the wall of the uterus, which can lead to serious bleeding during delivery.

Watch as Dr. Robert Cohen, an OB-GYN and medical director of the Placenta Accreta Program for our broader HCA Healthcare network, breaks down what PAS is, who may be at higher risk and why early diagnosis and specialized care matter.

Across HCA Healthcare, caregivers deliver more than 200,000 babies each year, generating insights that help improve outcomes for moms and babies.
