Postpartum preeclampsia poses significant health risk to a birthing person, particularly if the condition is not detected early and the patient develops eclampsia. Because patients are generally unaware of this condition, they typically present to emergency departments, urgent care centers, or their primary care physician with symptoms that are often vague and appear benign in the early stages of the condition. Hiding in Plain Sight seeks to provide additional awareness of the signs and symptoms of this condition to help healthcare professionals identify postpartum preeclampsia so that appropriate treatment can be initiated.
