O knihe

This highly informative pregnancy self-help book is about how Shavon D. McDaniel's life changed from her pregnancy and from the silent killer of heart disease which was caused by it. Her delivery went from what she thought would be the happiest moment of her life as a brand new mother, to what turned out to be a near death experience. But she didn't let any of it get the best of her. She wants every woman contemplating pregnancy to be aware of this terrible disease as well as how to overcome it. Shavon gives readers critically important information about heart disease and specifically peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM). PPCM is a rare form of cardiomyopathy occurring in pregnant women which causes the heart to become larger around the time of delivery. Unfortunately, this deadly condition is often misdiagnosed. The book also gives information about pacemakers and defibrillators, as well as postpartum depression. Shavon wants all women to be aware of the risk of getting heart disease from a pregnancy, and how serious it is to talk to your health care provider about this #1 silent killer and about postpartum depression.
