Whether you're considering starting a family or already expecting, we're here to help keep your heart healthy for your entire maternal health journey.
Led by Geetanjali Dang, MD, the Baptist Maternal Heart Health Clinic provides specialized heart care during pregnancy to ensure you and your baby stay healthy. And if you have any complications during pregnancy, we'll be there to help you navigate any risks afterward too.
Our care team includes experts in high-risk maternal fetal medicine, obstetric anesthesiologists and adult congenital heart disease specialists. We will also work closely with your OB-GYN or primary care physician to ensure seamless care coordination by sharing comprehensive results to support your overall health.
Pregnancy and your heart go hand in hand. When you're pregnant, your body goes through some major changes to support your growing baby. Your blood volume increases, your heart rate goes up, and your heart has to work extra hard.
For women with existing heart conditions, these changes can sometimes cause issues. Certain heart conditions can even increase the risk of complications during pregnancy. That's why it's crucial to plan ahead and get specialized care if you have a history of heart disease.
We understand the challenges of caring for a newborn or young children, and taking the time to improve heart health is easier said than done.
"Taking care of a newborn can be quite demanding for moms, keeping you busy and tired. Our aim is to support mothers through this busy time. It's crucial to prioritize caring for your heart, particularly if you've faced pregnancy complications. By doing so, you ensure not just your own health but also the well-being of your family in the long run."
