The POTS Pregnancy Survival Guide: Evidence-Based Strategies for Managing Symptoms, Navigating Birth, and Optimizing Recovery

Take Control of Your Pregnancy Journey with POTS.

If you have Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), the prospect of pregnancy can be overwhelming. With over 81% of patients experiencing symptom worsening, you face unique challenges—from medication anxieties and debilitating fatigue to uncertainty about delivery and the critical postpartum period. You need specialized guidance for this high-risk pregnancy, but reliable resources are scarce.

This evidence-based survival guide translates the latest clinical research into clear, actionable strategies for managing dysautonomia through every stage of your journey.
