Key messages:

  • Pregnancy acts as a stress test, unmasking underlying health risks that can increase the likelihood of future NCDs such as CVD, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease, emphasising the importance of postpartum follow-up and management.
  • Sleep disorders are common postpartum and can impact maternal well-being and bonding; incorporating sleep health assessments and interventions into routine care can improve overall health outcomes.
  • Postpartum care, including screening, lifestyle interventions, and tools like the Pregnancy Passport, is crucial for early detection and prevention of long-term cardiometabolic risks.
