Coping and support

The postpartum period often brings physical discomfort as well as emotional ups and downs. If you're diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia, you might need to stay in the hospital longer than you planned or be readmitted to the hospital. This can cause additional stress.

Lean on loved ones and other close contacts for support. Also, work with your health care provider to determine how you can safely manage your condition and your role as parent of a newborn.
