“Good Morning America” medical contributor and stroke specialist Dr. Leah Croll said strokes are uncommon during pregnancy but being pregnant does put a woman at higher risk for stroke, especially those with high blood pressure, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and blood clots. “Pregnant women are three times as likely to have a stroke compared to non-pregnant women,” Croll told “Good Morning America.” “So pregnancy and the postpartum period are a higher risk time in a woman's life in a lot of ways. And one of those ways is for her cardiovascular system.”, symptoms of stroke can come suddenly and can include numbness, weakness especially on one side of the body, trouble speaking, walking or seeing, or a severe headache.
Croll said that for those who are pregnant, it's important to be an advocate for their health care, as well as remain vigilant of worrisome symptoms. “I think the bottom line here is for pregnant women to make sure that they're keeping their doctors, their obstetricians in the loop about their personal medical history, their family history,” she said. “And keeping them up to date with any new or worrisome symptoms they might be experiencing.”
