May is Preeclampsia Awareness Month. This is prenatal hypertension, a condition that impacts nearly 1 in 25 pregnancies in the United States -- but with early treatment and attention, it can be very manageable. Warning Signs ➡️Swelling in hands or feet ➡️High blood pressure ➡️Protein in urine ➡️Persistent headache ➡️Severe nausea or vomiting ➡️Trouble breathing ➡️Vision changes (including light sensitivity or blurriness) ➡️Pain under the right side of your ribs So how can you know for sure? Check in with your health care provider ASAP, as they'll test your blood pressure, test for protein in your urine, and likely administer a non-stress test and/or ultrasound. Share this with an expecting mama. Awareness, education, and early preventative action is key. #preeclampsia #preeclampsiaawareness #firsttrimester #pregnancy
