Heart Health Matters During Pregnancy
Pregnancy puts extra stress on the heart. In most women, the body handles it well. But for some, it can lead to serious problems. Especially if there’s a history of heart issues.
At BaleDoneen, we check for pregnancy-related heart conditions before, during, and after pregnancy. Our goal is to keep both mom and baby safe.

This is where heart disease in pregnancy becomes a risk. Some women may already have congenital heart disease. Others may develop issues like preeclampsia, high blood pressure, or cardiomyopathy.
