Some pregnancy-related complications, like #Preeclampsia, can lead to other serious problems like #preterm birth and even death.

Visit your doctor regularly during pregnancy. Learn the urgent warning signs (https://t.co/2cKBnwr5M3) that can indicate serious problems. #HearHer

Pregnancy isn’t the nursery rhyme we think it is. In a way, it’s almost like a tiny war. And right on the front lines of that battle is a character that not a single person on the planet would be here without. Meet the placenta. https://t.co/4fcYpaDU62
