Today is World Preeclampsia Day — a day to raise awareness about a serious pregnancy complication that can affect both mothers and babies.

Preeclampsia can happen during pregnancy and up to 6 weeks postpartum, which is why early detection and symptom awareness are so important. Warning signs can include high blood pressure, severe headaches, vision changes, and swelling.

By promoting early prenatal care, regular blood pressure monitoring, and listening to mothers when something feels wrong, we can help prevent severe outcomes and save lives.

Let’s spread awareness, support families, and help ensure every mom gets the care she needs. 💙

Today is Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) Awareness Day — a time to recognize the severe, life-altering pregnancy illness that affects about 1% of pregnancies.

HG is not “just morning sickness.” It can cause extreme nausea and vomiting, dehydration, hospitalization, trauma, depression, and even job loss. This year’s message, , is a reminder to trust patient experiences and treat HG as the serious physiological disease it is.

Recent research has also uncovered a genetic link involving the hormone GDF15, giving hope for better understanding, treatment, and support.

Let’s raise awareness, wear teal, share stories, and push for more research and compassionate care for everyone affected by HG 💙

During National Infant Immunization Week, observed April 24–30, we celebrate the importance of protecting babies from the very start. The tiniest patients deserve the strongest protection.

Northland Newborn Foundation is here to support families through those critical first moments because every baby deserves a safe and healthy beginning.

Join us in making a difference and helping provide that support.
