When your pregnancy takes an unexpected turn
No one gets pregnant, and expects the road to be rough - especially the first time! But, any pregnancy can take an unexpected turn! So thankful for the March of Dimes and how the research and special care they support help women ave healthy babies - especially after a rough pregnancy!
Most women have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies. But sometimes thing s don’t go as planned. Pregnancy complications are health conditions that may need special care.
Find out about pregnancy complications, including anemia, gestational diabetes and high blood pressure. Learn how to protect yourself from infections, like the flu and food poisoning, that can cause problems during pregnancy. And if you had health complications before pregnancy, like depression or being overweight, find out what you can do to help you stay healthy during pregnancy.
Throughout pregnancy, go to all your prenatal care checkups, even if you’re feeling fine. Getting regular prenatal care can help you identify complications early—and maybe even prevent them—to help you have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
When to call your provider
