Over 100 million people in the U.S. have high blood pressure, and many don't know because they don't have symptoms. If you experienced high blood pressure during pregnancy, be sure to pay close attention to how you feel after you give birth because there are increased risks for stroke or other health issues. Make an appointment to get your blood pressure checked by your health care provider. Visit the HHS Office on Women's Health website for sample social media messages, promotional graphics and videos, events, fact sheets, and more. | Think Cultural Health: CLAS in Maternal Health Care  Everyone desires and deserves to be treated with compassion, respect, and dignity – all the more so during pregnancy and childbirth, a special but often scary time.
