I had HELLP first time around and severe. Most of the 2 weeks following the emergency delivering are sketchy to me, and I was on 24 watch for 5 days but I was put on the same things and had 3 blood transfusions during my stay in the hospital. Preeclampsia was what I developed during the second-with ...

That is reassuring news!! I had HELLP with my first and preeclampsia and TTP with my second. I am nervous about the road of a third but feel encouraged with your story!!! Keep us posted:)

My oldest was delivered via emergency c-section at 24 weeks - they had her due date wrong and therefore resuscitated her. They thought she was 26 weeks. She is a very strong little girl today and has fought many odds. Good luck to you and remember that they may be little but the are resilient!
