Have you heard of PRE-ECLAMPSIA? Do you know about the link between this pregnancy complication and longer-term cardiovascular health? Join us at our pop-up café to familiarise yourself with what everyone planning pregnancy and those interested in women’s health should know.

Pre-eclampsia and other placental conditions are life threatening and affect one in 10 pregnancies! They can lead to serious health issues for both mother and baby and increase a woman’s risk of developing heart disease and diabetes later in life, compared with those who have a healthy pregnancy.

Researchers from Cambridge Cardiovascular will share information about conditions that may influence women’s future health. You will have a chance to hear stories from those who have experienced pre-eclampsia and find out how it affected them. If you have experienced pregnancy complications and have questions about your own cardiovascular health, come along to chat to us in a safe and supportive space.

While you’re with us you can learn about the POPPY study, the largest study of its kind and being led by the University of Cambridge. The POPPY study is recruiting women planning their first pregnancy and aims to understand more about placental conditions and how these affect women’s long-term health. More information


Visitors to the stand may also have their blood pressure measured and receive advice about home blood pressure monitoring. No booking necessary.
