It’s time to listen. Too many lives are lost each year to pregnancy-related complications in the United States—deaths that are often preventable. The CDC’s Hear Her® campaign works to reduce these tragedies by encouraging everyone to truly listen when a pregnant or postpartum person expresses concern. By raising awareness of urgent maternal warning signs and fostering open communication, we can make a life-saving difference, whether you’re an expectant mother, a loved one, or a healthcare provider. 🩺💬

Let’s work together to ensure that every voice is heard, every concern is taken seriously, and every life is valued. Learn about the signs, find  resources, and hear personal stories at the Hear Her® website.
