Please view this compelling 8 minute version of the longer (22 minute) video, If Only We Knew The Quest to Conquer Preeclampsia. Every hour of every day of the year, approximately 40 pregnant women in this country are diagnosed as having preeclampsia. Every 6 minutes, one of those women will develop severe preeclampsia . . . the lives of the mother and baby are at risk. Globally, data suggest that 75,000 women and 500,000 babies die because of preeclampsia.
Known since biblical times, preeclampsia is characterized by (among other things) extreme spikes in blood pressure and protein in the urine. There is no cure and the only treatment we have are extreme vigilance, bed rest, and if the symptoms grow too severe . . . delivery. Unfortunately, in some women, preeclampsia continues to progress even after delivery, threatening organ failure, stroke, and even death. If born too prematurely, we know that the baby will also face serious medical and developmental challenges. In fact, preeclampsia is the largest known cause of premature birth in the US.
A recent Preeclampsia Foundation survey indicated that women who gave birth prematurely and had not been made aware of the signs and symptoms of preeclampsia suffered TWICE the infant loss as those who were informed.
Knowledge is power and knowledge can save your life as well as your babys life . . . please contact us at ifonlyweknew@preeclampsia.org to learn how you can get the full version of the video.
Please go to www.preeclampsia.org to learn more about the signs and symptoms of preeclampsia.
Please share this information with every pregnant woman you know . . . now.

From California - A new glaucoma medication may improve compliance. The FDA has approved Combigan, which combines an alpha agonist and a beta-blocker. The medicine lowers IOP by 7 mmHg on average. It should not be used in those with asthma, COPD or heart block.
From Wisconsin - A new study on over 1200 infants, who were followed for over a decade, shows that those who were breast fed for over 4 months had better improvement in lung volume and function. The beneficial effect, however, was not noted if the mother had asthma. In fact, those born to asthmatic mothers had a 6% reduction in lung function.
From Minneapolis - General Mills is recalling over 4 million pizzas which are sold under the Totino’s and Jeno’s brand names. The recall was issued after health authorities noted that 9 out of 21 cases of E. Coli reported in the U.S. had resulted from ingesting one of these pizzas.
And finally from London - A meta-analysis of 25 studies, which collectively enrolled over 3 million subjects, links pre-eclampsia to heart disease later in life. Women with pre-eclampsia had a 2 fold risk of heart disease, and were 4 times more likely to develop hypertension in later life.
