Despite existing preventive measures, participation in ongoing health monitoring remains low. This study aims to explore women\u2019s preferences and experiences regarding preventive healthcare after GDM and HDP, and to identify their unanswered questions about the association between these conditions and future CVD risk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A participatory, qualitative approach was adopted, involving a Lived Experience Expert Group (LEE Group) to plan, conduct, and interpret focus groups with women who had experienced either GDM or HDP. Participants were recruited through health consumer and community organisations and took part in two focus groups conducted via Zoom. The focus groups involved a stimulus presentation about CVD and GDM or HDP, facilitated group discussion about participants\u2019 health and healthcare since their pregnancy, and Nominal Group Technique to prioritise participants\u2019 questions about their CVD risk. Focus groups were audio recorded and transcripts from each group were analysed thematically. Synthesised Member Checking was used to verify the trustworthiness of findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Twelve women participated in the focus groups, with distinct themes emerging from the GDM and HDP focus groups. Participants were previously unaware of the association between their pregnancy complication and increased risk of future CVD and wished to know more. Three themes were generated from the GDM focus groups: \u2018\n                      <jats:italic>a distressing diagnosis<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2019; \u2018\n                      <jats:italic>degrees of diabetes<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2019; and \u2018\n                      <jats:italic>balancing motherhood and self-care<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2019. Two themes were generated from the HDP focus groups: \u2018\n                      <jats:italic>women\u2019s concerns were dismissed<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2019 and \u2018\n                      <jats:italic>wanting follow up at the right time and with the right person<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2019.
