Description
CDC's Hear Her campaign seeks to encourage partners, friends, family, coworkers, and providers—anyone who supports pregnant and postpartum women—to really listen when she tells you something doesn't feel right. Acting quickly could help save a life. The campaign seeks to raise awareness of urgent maternal warning signs during and after pregnancy. It also aims to improve communication between healthcare providers and patients. The following are the campaign goals:
- Increase awareness of serious pregnancy-related complications and their warning signs.
- Empower women who are pregnant and postpartum to speak up and raise concerns.
- Encourage support systems to engage in important conversations.
- Provide tools for pregnant and postpartum women and health care professionals to better engage in life-saving conversations.
CDC's Division of Reproductive Health is committed to healthy pregnancies and deliveries for every woman. The Hear Her campaign supports CDC's efforts to prevent pregnancy-related deaths by sharing potentially life-saving messages about urgent maternal warning signs.
