Pregnancy & Postpartum
Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia can often come with no warning, making it imperative for women to be educated about their risk and how to monitor symptoms.
At Babyscripts, we envision a world in which maternal death is eliminated. We’re committed to providing the technology and tools that enable seamless collaboration between moms, their doctors, health systems, and payers to make that vision a reality.

Although many of these are also normal side effects of pregnancy, it is important to keep your provider updated when you experience them.

Blood pressure data empowers mothers to identify preeclampsia
Preeclampsia affects 5-8% of pregnancies but when it comes to understanding the symptoms and advocating for themselves, patients face an information gap.
Blood pressure monitoring should be the standard for maternal healthcare
Although delivery of the baby is the “solution” for preeclampsia in the prenatal period, the risks from preeclampsia don’t end there. Babyscripts’ co-founder shared his thoughts on why blood pressure monitoring could be the solution.
A New Solution for Comprehensive Blood Pressure Monitoring
In some cases, elevated blood pressure is the only warning sign of preeclampsia. If a woman is only having her BP taken at her regularly scheduled prenatal visits, it is highly possible that high blood pressure could go undetected, and a preventable or manageable diagnosis can quickly turn life-threatening.
After a low-risk pregnancy, remote BP monitoring might have saved this mom's life
A new mother who is normotensive at discharge can quickly become hypertensive in the days following childbirth, even if she experienced no blood pressure complications before or during her pregnancy — like this mother, who credits Babyscripts for catching her postpartum preeclampsia: “If I hadn’t been using the app, I wouldn’t be here.”
After a high blood pressure reading triggered an intervention, she had a healthy delivery
After a diagnosis of gestational hypertension and an early delivery at 39 weeks, she credits Babyscripts for saving her life: “If I had waited until my due date, I would have already entered the preeclampsia stage. If I had not had the blood pressure cuff, I probably would have thought I was totally fine, and it would have been a huge danger to me and my baby.”
