Myth: All overweight women get preeclampsia

KDAH

Preeclampsia can affect any woman during pregnancy, irrespective of her BMI. Although obesity increases the risk of complications such as hypertension and gestational diabetes, it doesn't guarantee that you will develop it. Report any rapid weight gain to your gynaecologist for further investigation and care. #PreeclampsiaAwarenessDay #PregnancyHealth #ObesityAndPregnancy #WomensHealth #Gynaecology
