Are you expecting or had a pregnancy in the last year? Make sure to be aware of the maternal warning signs below. This list is not meant to cover every symptom you might have. If you feel like something just isn't right, or you aren't sure if it's serious, talk to your health care provider. Be sure to tell them if you are pregnant or were pregnant within the last year.
