Some women are at higher risk, but preeclampsia can occur in any pregnancy. If you’re pregnant or planning to be, talk with your doctor about your risk factors and how to recognize preeclampsia.

Preeclampsia is high blood pressure during pregnancy plus additional health indicators, usually starting after the 20th week, or newly postpartum. It can be fatal for both mom and baby.

Molly McGuire was in her third trimester when her worst nightmare became reality. Her symptoms—swelling, headaches, reduced fetal movement—were dismissed. The result: she lost her baby, Michael, and nearly lost her own life to preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome.

A part of the Go Red for Women 2025 Class of Survivors, she’s turning her pain into purpose—reminding every woman to trust her gut, speak up, and never settle for being unheard.

"I will never put my health last again."

Alma Gonzalez was home alone folding laundry and talking on the phone to her husband, Jose. She bent to pick up the laundry basket and as she stood up, her head felt extremely heavy. She told Jose it was "the worst headache ever." He suggested she lie down.

Alma, then 42, knew this wasn't a normal headache. She was used to dealing with pain on her own, refusing to see the doctor or take medication unless necessary. But this level of pain was unbearable. She called 911.

Alma had a brain aneurysm that ruptured and led to a stroke and seizures. When the bleeding in Alma's brain finally subsided after about three weeks, she was released from the hospital. But she found herself back in the ER a few days later. Doctors found blood clots in her lungs, and later cysts on her kidneys that were probably the cause of everything.

This year, Alma is marking eight years since her health ordeal began. Her story is a great reminder -- especially for women who take care of everyone else --- to put your health first, and to call 911 if you suspect a stroke or heart attack.
