New #podcast episode! We're kicking off a 4-part series on #preeclampsia for Preeclampsia Awareness Month. Tell us - did you have an experience with preeclampsia? Preeclampsia: What is it, and should you be scared? Preeclampsia affects more than 200,000 pregnancies every year, just in the US alone. Dr. David Berry, a maternal fetal medicine doctor, helps us kick off the first of a four-part series where we dive into the intricacies of this disease by sharing symptoms, signs and treatment options. π§ Listen wherever you get your podcasts, or πΊ watch the conversation on YouTube. In this episode, Dr. Berry and Kathryn chat about: β What is preeclampsia and how is it diagnosed? β Why do we see more women of color, particularly Black women, affected at a higher rate than others? β What is HELLP syndrome? How difficult is it to accurately diagnose? What should women and their doctors be on the lookout for in the third trimester and after birth? β If a woman suspects she has preeclampsia or is diagnosed with it, what should she be asking her doctor? What are the treatment options? β What's your best advice to a woman diagnosed with preeclampsia?
