Preeclampsia: Pregnancy-related High Blood Pressure

Choose Us: Expert Care for Preeclampsia

• Prenatally, we screen all women for preeclampsia, with extra monitoring for women at risk, which includes those with a history of chronic high blood pressure or kidney disease, obesity, age over 40 or under 18, a multiple pregnancy, and those pregnant after in vitro fertilization.
• Because women who’ve had preeclampsia are at increased risk for cardiovascular problems later, our multidisciplinary team of experts, including MFM specialists, internal medicine physicians and nutritionists work closely with you and your primary care provider to transition you to the care needed for good health in the years ahead.
• We provide preconception care and planning for women who’ve had preeclampsia previously, to monitor for risks in a future pregnancy.
• Our team of experts offer Virtual Visits to connect with you while you stay at home. Many appointments, including an initial consult, second opinion, monitoring, or follow-up care, can effectively be held virtually so you can begin or continue your care.
• Our state-of-the-art 66-bed Level III NICU is available to provide the most advanced technology in New England for premature babies and newborns with medical needs.
• More than 200 women give birth to twins or triplets each year at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. You can count on the deep experience of the multidisciplinary team in our Comprehensive Care Center for Multiples, which is designed to ensure families expecting multiples are healthy, confident and cared for before, during and after pregnancy.
