Ryan Cunningham+FollowLiver Disease & Preterm Birth? Who Knew!Just found out that pregnant women with MASLD (a type of fatty liver disease) are over 3x more likely to have preterm births—even if they’re not overweight! Researchers in Sweden dug into national data and found this risk sticks, no matter BMI. The wild part? The liver issue itself seems to be the culprit, not just weight. Docs might need to rethink how they monitor moms-to-be with MASLD. Wild, right? #PregnancyHealth #LiverDisease #PretermBirth #WomensHealth #HealthNews #Health30Share
Benjamin Jackson+FollowPregnancy Sleep Drama: What’s the Real Risk?Turns out, not getting enough sleep in early pregnancy might not be as scary as we thought—except for one thing: it could up your chances of needing an emergency C-section. This huge Swedish study found no links between poor sleep and most pregnancy complications, but if you’re dealing with pre-pregnancy diabetes, obesity, or you’re not from Europe, you’re more likely to be a poor sleeper. Still, the sleep-C-section connection is worth watching! #PregnancySleep #CSection #PregnancyHealth #SleepStudy #MomLife #Health40Share
Jason Weaver+FollowPregnancy High Blood Pressure & Preemie BrainsJust learned that high blood pressure during pregnancy (including preeclampsia) can seriously impact preemie babies’ brain and language development by age 2. A new study found preemies exposed to these conditions scored lower on cognitive and language tests, and the effects were even stronger with preeclampsia. Basically, pregnancy complications like these could have long-term effects on little ones’ brains.

Frank Christensen+FollowIron Deficiency in Pregnancy = Heart Risk?Just learned that if a mom has anaemia (often from low iron) in the first 100 days of pregnancy, her baby’s risk of congenital heart disease jumps by 47%! Nearly a quarter of pregnant women in the UK have anaemia, and it’s even more common worldwide. Researchers think iron supplements before and during pregnancy could be a total gamechanger for newborn heart health.
