Being such a large player in influences on pregnancies and causes for early births, doctors have yet to find a definitive test to find this leading cause of death for mothers and infants.

With the numbers the statistics are showing in regards to preeclampsia, I am a bit surprised that we – the general public – don’t hear more about the condition. Then again, what is there to tell when it is often difficult to diagnose?

As someone who plans on having children in the future, I try not to inform myself too much about all the things that can go wrong, but it’s hard to not pay attention to something so serious.
