Re : Future "treatment" of pre-e, HELLP
<t>I can't speak re: preeclampsia but as someone who lives with an autoimmune disease, I do know that my body is in hyper-defense mode--it overreacts to the slightest germ, virus, or cut. The steroids that I COULD use to "turn down" the heat of my immune system would leave me vulnerable to any oppor...

Re : So many questions - postpartum
<t>Hi there! I've been almost exactly where you are--though my last was my fourth! ANYWAY-- I think I can offer my opinion, which is really all any of us can do here, not being doctors and all -- per dietary needs of a nursing woman, if you do some web searches you will see that the standard recomme...

Re : need help understanding my wifes passing
<t>Echoing everyone's comments--so sorry about your loss. It strikes very close to home for me as the reason the Preeclampsia Foundation was started was because I was readmitted a week postpartum with a BP of 180/120 and no one appreciated how serious it was. As others have pointed out, we're not do...

Re : I need some advice
<r>One of the most important lessons we've learned here is that everyone's loss counts--loss of a baby (miscarriage, at term, after birth), loss of a mom, loss of a relationship (this situation does test the best of them), loss of a perfect birth. <br/> <br/> What I'm saying is let it be okay to not...

Re : Diagnostic criteria for PE?
<t>I'm just echoing in. Maybe we're particularly firm on this with you because a)I had this with baby #1, 3 and 4--#2 was fine. #3 nearly took me out. Later, after #4 was born, we found out I have an autoimmune disorder--a serious one that I've been told increases my risk of death before 60 to 75%--...

Re : Anyone else not do preconception appt?
<t>I think it is valuable to add that not all pre-conception appointments are equal. Even MFM we work with will vary in what tests they order and what they consider irrelevant. A pre-conception appointment won't replace your own education but can help you get a better picture.<br/> <br/> In the inte...

Re : Here I am...nowhere else to go....
<t>Joining the big group hug for you. I wish I were closer to provide support. Where are you again? I assume you have a social worker from the hospital--I imagine there must be regional help. Have you got a PEPs group in your area (Program for Early Parenting Support)? They might be a good support. ...

Re : New here- long term effects of HELLP?
<r>Just jumping in--I had HELLP with my third (96) and preeclampsia with my fourth (99) and in very early 2000 I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder (sarcoidosis). When I first suggested my sarcoidosis might have been why I got preeclampsia/variants in three of the four pregnancies, my very ex...
