Although preeclampsia usually resolves after delivery, postpartum preeclampsia can occur days or even weeks after childbirth.
Warning signs include:
- Severe headache
- High blood pressure
- Vision changes (blurred vision, flashing lights)
- Swelling in hands or face
- Shortness of breath
- Nausea or abdominal pain
Postpartum preeclampsia is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment. Always follow up on your blood pressure checks and inform your doctor of any unusual symptoms.
