Heart Foundation: Preeclampsia explained by experts and women who lived it

[@coo4231]

I had pre-eclampsia post Partum...I never had high BP during pregnancy. I went home and 2 days after birth my BP was 210/108. Drs don't mention that can happen too. Since I wasn't warned and was so tired and out of breath, I'm lucky my partner forced me into the ER or I may not be here still. And it's hell

Women are not informed at all about this - I had about 5 doctors assist me with pregnancy, birth and post-partum…not one mentioned this and I’m no effed 14 years later.
