Research Notes on Preeclampsia Prevention

Fast Facts:
- Avoiding caffeine, alcohol, salt, and junk food may also be beneficial in preventing preeclampsia.3
- Common symptoms of preeclampsia include headaches, weight gain, and swelling of the hands or feet.4
- Preeclampsia normally occurs after the 20th week of pregnancy.4
