Pregnancy Related Cardiovascular Risk Factors

Pregnancy is a stress test on the heart.
​Events in pregnancy such as hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm birth, placental abruption and fetal growth restriction are associated with both short-and long-term cardiovascular complications in women.

Welcome to 
the BIRCh clinic

​The BiRCH Clinic provides follow up care for the perinatal population who have experienced conditions such as gestational diabetes, preterm birth and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. We hope to explain the conditions, educate regarding prevention and empower the population to advocate for their health in future pregnancies and over the lifespan.
The Campbell River BiRCH Clinic is grateful to operate on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Ligwilda'xw people; the We Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum and Kwiakah First Nations.
The West Coast BiRCH Clinic is grateful to operate on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Tseshaht and Hupačasath First Nations, two of the fourteen nations of the Nuu-chah-nulth people of western Vancouver Island.
