Pregnancy Associated Hypertension Virtual Seminar

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy lead to major morbidities including preterm delivery, maternal pre-eclampsia or eclampsia, stroke and hemorrhage after delivery. Black birthing people in the US are at significantly higher risk of encountering this pregnancy complication. Close attention to education and assessment of early signs of these complications can positively impact care. This seminar will discuss risk, symptoms, possible prevention and current research into disease management with nutrition before and during pregnancy. Distinguished Panelists include: Dr. Ann Anderson Berry - Executive Director, Child Health Research Institute, UNMC & Children's Hospital Dr. Corrine Hanson - Program Director, Medical Nutrition Education Division, College of Allied Health Professions, UNMC Lashelle Freeman - Mother ------ There is a extended postpartum care available for African American mothers that have experienced high risk pregnancy (like Preeclampsia and c-sections).
