Heart disease is the #1 cause of death during pregnancy or postpartum (5 months) in the U.S.
Heart disease is a leading cause of death for pregnant women, birthing people, and new mothers in the U.S. and California. If you have severe symptoms that don't get better with over-the-counter medicine or from your doctor, you need to see a health care provider right away.
It's important to know the warning signs of heart disease during pregnancy and up to five months after having your baby.
