Did you know more than half of maternal deaths in the U.S. happen after birth?

An increasing number of women are dying from pregnancy and birth-related problems. While some women may be at higher risk, all women are potentially at risk of developing complications after delivery!

This may seem scary, but it is important to know to help save lives.

One of the best things mom can do for her baby is to take care of herself post-birth.

Families need healthy moms.  Often friends and family ask "how is the baby?" and don't always ask "how are you doing, mom?"  Parents often are so concerned with caring for a new baby, they may not take care of their own physical and emotional health.

Would you know how to recognize a health issue once you were at home with baby after birth?  

What if your leg started hurting, or it was hard to breathe? Would you dismiss them as nothing, or hope they went away? 

Knowing how to recognize and respond to these specific signs and symptoms may help save your life!

Trust your instincts. If you feel something is not quite right, always call your health care provider, just to make sure.
