I had preeclampsia during my pregnancy. One reminder I got constantly from the nurses, OBs, internal medicine doctors, and maternal fetal medicine doctors was to immediately report a headache that didn’t improve after taking Tylenol. This is lifesaving advice for pregnant people with preeclampsia.

As a new mom I really felt this. Would love to see more investment in beautifully-presented stories like this. It captures this experience — the anxieties, emotions, pressures — in such a unique way.
