🤍 It’s ! Preeclampsia is *serious* and affects 5-8% of pregnancies in the US.

The condition is characterized by high blood pressure (140/90+) during pregnancy and can develop gradually or rapidly, often with few noticeable symptoms. It typically occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

HOW IT AFFECTS PARENT + BABY
For birthing people, preeclampsia can lead to liver and kidney issues, stroke, seizures, blood clotting problems, and fluid buildup in the lungs. For babies, it can restrict growth, cause premature birth, low birth weight, and in severe cases, stillbirth.

WHO IS AT RISK
Black and Latinx birthing people are disproportionately affected by preeclampsia. Other risk factors include first pregnancy, previous preeclampsia, chronic hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease, carrying multiples, or being under 20 or over 40.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Regular prenatal visits with blood pressure checks are crucial for early detection. If you’re at higher risk, talk with your provider about preventative measures like low-dose aspirin. The only “cure” is delivery of the baby and placenta, which is why early recognition and management are so important for both parent and baby’s health.

The most important thing to note — TRUST your body and the signs it’s giving you - if something feels “off,” don’t hesitate to contact your healthcare provider.

Hello November babies 👶🍼😍❤️🫠

Soon after launching Brave Beginnings, life surprised me with a sweet addition! I shifted gears to focus on growing my family and my little rainbow baby, and didn’t have much left to give to my business or community.

On October 3rd, our sweet little rainbow arrived safely earthside, and is an absolute dream come true! 🌈 💕

Now, as I settle into postpartum life with my baby girl, I'm excited to share new plans for Brave Beginnings and the local birth, postpartum, and parenting communities it serves. 💜
