Achieving a Healthy Pregnancy for Women with Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia, dangerously high blood pressure that develops in the second half of pregnancy, affects about 1 in 20 pregnancies. The condition poses risks to a mother鈥檚 health and may require an early birth. Our experienced maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialists work closely with you to extend your pregnancy as long as safely possible. This may include hospitalization, where we closely monitor the mother and provide more time for the baby鈥檚 development. After delivery, our MFM physicians and the newborn medicine specialists in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) collaborate to provide the best care for you and your baby.
