Sara McGinnis experienced severe symptoms of high blood pressure during her pregnancy, but was dismissed by healthcare providers, illustrating the need for better maternal care and awareness.
Sara's tragic death after a massive stroke highlights the concerning rise in maternal mortality rates, particularly due to high blood pressure, and the critical need for improved testing and treatment.
