Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it’s also a time when the heart works harder than ever.
For some women, this added pressure can reveal hidden cardiovascular risks:
🔺 High blood pressure
🔺 Irregular heartbeats
🔺 Peripartum cardiomyopathy
🔺 Increased clotting risk
That’s where Cardio-Obstetrics comes in. It's a specialized field that brings OB-GYNs and cardiologists together to care for moms with existing or developing heart conditions during and after pregnancy.
👩⚕️ Whether you’re planning a pregnancy or already expecting, screening for cardiac risk factors early can protect both you and your baby.
💬 If you’ve had preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, or a family history of heart disease, this is your reminder: your heart health matters just as much as your prenatal checkups.
Let’s create more awareness. Let’s support heart-healthy pregnancies.
