Every Pregnant Woman Needs To Have a PEP Talk

Every Pregnant Woman Needs To Have a PEP Talk

If you are pregnant please talk to your doctor about these pregnancy complications that can cause you to have severe complications, including death to you or your baby.  A mother should never have to leave a hospital without her baby, a baby should never have to leave a hospital without it’s mother, and your family should leave the hospital with a healthy mom and baby!

Tragically, women still die from complications experienced during pregnancy and childbirth. In the United States, three of the leading causes of these deaths are Preeclampsia, Embolism (pulmonary) and Post-partum hemorrhage.

Please talk to your friends and family about this.  This is no longer something only doctors can fix, or something only nurses can fix. We have to all work together to have a healthy mom and baby.

Here’s to the collaboration between physicians, nurses, and PATIENTS ❤
