Reply to "Preeclampsia, cortisol & ACEs?"

Christine Cissy WhiteIt's not trauma-informed unless it's informed by trauma survivors.

Great question! I particularly find this interesting since I have an ACE score of >4 and had pretty serious preeclampsia with both of my pregnancies.
I've read articles, such as the one attached, that link ACEs to spontaneous preterm birth. The article indicates that for every ACE there is an 18% increased risk of PTB. Specifically," two or more ACEs have a notable two-fold increase of spontaneous preterm birth". Please see the attached document for further details. Karen

Hi Karen: I'm so grateful for you and the resources you share. I'm going to share over at Parenting with ACEs. I don't want to scare people but people need to know about risks. Do you know, in medical settings, how women are talked to who have increased risks for a variety of things during pregnancy? I wonder if that's not a model for how we talk to people (pregnant or not) about some of the ACE-related risks and if knowing the higher risks wouldn't help people screened more and sooner? Cis
