New Pre Eclampsia Test

Pregnancy can be tiring, exhausting even, emotionally and physically.


Mom's learn to cope with the uneasiness by getting comfortable in new ways, often using many pillows and enjoying massages offered by loved ones.

Our body systems need to be helped too - good diet (80-100 mgs protein, fruits and vegetables), exercise, walking and rest.

Sometimes the care providers run test to see what's going on 'inside'. In response to swelling, headache and a rise in blood pressure etc. they will evaluate for Pre Eclampsia

 A new predictor test will help guide their decisions about how much to test as an outpatient, and when it is necessary to hospitalize women.
"This could improve your clinical decisions with regards whether you hospitalize the patient, or monitor them as an outpatient, as well as the intensity of outpatient monitoring,"
