Hey Delissa,
I live in Virginia, but I'm closer to Richmond. I hope Kara is able to connect you with members that are closer to you.

OK thanks!

I'll email you privately.

That would be wonderful Kara! I would love to get some type of meeting or something together were us women can connect.

I know we have members who organize a walk in Abingdon, VA. That isn't too far away is it. I can connect you with them if you like? Not sure how often they visit the forums.

Hi,

I am Elaine Cliborne and I had severe preeclampsia (HELLP Syndrome). Our daughter was delivered at 23 weeks do to the syndrome. She was our first baby. When she was born she was 430 grams and was showing at 21 weeks. She lived for 2 hours after delivery. My husband decided to wake me up a few hours after surgery so I could hold our precious angel. She was so small and so beautiful. She will forever be in our hearts. We are currently trying and it can be a frustrating process. Everyone is in my prayers! I hope we can get something rolling in VA soon!

Hi Kristi,

I have recently moved to Virginia. I had Preeclampsia with my son (now 3 1/2 years old). I was curious about the resources in Virginia for preeclampsia in case we were to have another child at some point.

Your daughter was born on my son's birthday. :-) Sorry I am late in welcoming you but welcome to the GC crowd!

Hi,

My name is Shauna Brown and I delivered our son Henry at 34 weeks due to pre-e. He is now a little over 2 months old. We live in Fredericksburg, VA.

It is great to know that there is a support network of Mothers who understand what this experience is like and are looking for answers to help prevent other Mothers and families from having to experience Pre-e.

Feel free to let me know about the activities/communication the Virginia group will be doing.
