Hi Careen, I just wanted to make sure that you know that you are very welcome. I know that we have one other poster who is also norweigan, although I believe she lives in the UK right now. Her name is Trine Berry.

hi.
I am a new member from Norway.

I had preeclampsia (from week 36) in my second pregnency and got hellp during labor (at week 40+4). About 2 hours after my son was born I got eclampsia. My condition develloped very quickly.
(All the blood tests were fine when I arrived at the hospital)
it took max 4 hours from I got abdominal pain until the eclampsia began with headache and cramps. I also lost 1.5 liters of blood.
and it was first later when they took new tests that the doctors found out that I have had hellp.

The most important was that my son was allright[:)]
he was a big boy at 4.2 kilos and 53 centimeter.
he is now 9 months old.
