May is Preeclampsia Awareness Month!

Preeclampsia is a common pregnancy-related condition. It’s most frequently known for causing high blood pressure after your 20th week of pregnancy. But it can also cause other changes to your health, such as affecting kidney and liver function. While many theories exist, research is still underway to fully understand what causes preeclampsia. As a result, there isn’t a sure way to prevent preeclampsia from happening. In general, your best defense is regular prenatal checkups. Through routine monitoring, you’ll be more likely to catch a problem earlier. Then, you can get treatment sooner.

Why you should choose a board-certified OB GYN

The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) offers board certification in the specialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology and in five subspecialties. Board certification is a voluntary pursuit. Physicians are only required to secure a medical license to practice medicine in any given state. Physicians who choose to pursue certification are enhancing their medical knowledge beyond that required of state licensure.
