Pregnancy And Heart Problems


Pregnancy is supposed to be a wonderful time in a woman’s life.

Heart trouble during pregnancy is something that an expectant mother sometimes has to deal with.

During pregnancy, a mother’s heart increases in output by fifty percent. This makes their heart have to work much harder to take care of their body.

Even if you are a healthy woman, you may still suffer from fatigue and headaches during pregnancy, which can be signs of heart disease.

Heart disease during pregnancy can be from family genetics or simply brought on by the pregnancy. If you are a woman who has had trouble with her heart then you should seek a physician’s advice before becoming pregnant.
Deep Vein Thrombosis

During pregnancy, some women develop Deep Vein Thrombosis, which is a cardiovascular complication. If you have this complication while you are pregnant, a blood clot will develop into your leg or your lower body.

When you get further along in your pregnancy, your uterus will enlarge and your circulation in the lower half of your body will change. This is why you are at a greater risk for Deep Vein Thrombosis during this time.
