Preeclampsia is a serious condition that can develop during pregnancy. If you have preeclampsia, that means you have at least two of the following:

  • High blood pressure
  • Protein in your pee
  • Kidney problems
  • Liver problems
  • Brain, spine, or nerve problems
  • Blood problems
  • Issues getting oxygen and nutrients to your baby

Preeclampsia is very serious. If not treated, it can cause seizures, strokes, heart problems, kidney failure, or even kill you or your baby. 

Preeclampsia often doesn’t have any symptoms. It’s important to go to all your regular prenatal check-ups so that your doctors can keep an eye out for preeclampsia.

 

 

Preeclampsia tends to sneak, with risks that peak, so check-ups are key for the safety you seek.
