In the wake of Tori Bowies death let’s not reduce preeclampsia to a hypertensive disorder during pregnancy. It’s much more insidious and serious than that. Involves end organs like the kidneys and the liver. It’s quite more than high blood pressure.
Our hearts break for tragic loss of Tori Bowie. Preeclampsia and it’s related cardiovascular complications remains the leading cause of death for Black women. Every Black woman needs access to a BP cuff and education. Regardless of “common” risk criteria.
The U.S. Olympic track star Tori Bowie died during childbirth in May, according to an autopsy report shared with The New York Times. The autopsy lists respiratory distress and eclampsia as possible complications.

FYI pregnant folks can and should receive dental care. It’s safe. As per the ADA. To tell a pregnant Black woman who is in pain due to needed dental care to “wait” until after she has the baby and to take Tylenol is unconscionable. Google is accessible, look it up!
“The risk of later maternal death — from six weeks to a year after delivery — is 3.5 times higher among Black women, compared with that among white women.” Yet trauma field birth experiences limit postpartum follow up. https://t.co/Dnzh1p238U
