I am so happy that I found this web site. I didn't even know I had HELLP or severe PIH until my son was discharged from the NICU after being in for a month. It was listed on his discharge papers. No one ever explained it -even at my check up whit my OBGYN. I had Jack (8--04-09)at 33 weeks- 3lbs5oz. He was a miracle before he was born -we had tried to have a baby for a long time- and now that I am learning about what exactly was wrong with me- it makes me know that he really is a miracle. I am going to see my maternal fetal specialist on Monday- what questions should I ask?

Hello Debra and welcome!

Sorry to hear that you have had to deal with HELLP, but I think you have come to the right place! There are so many here with similar experiences to share. I can't believe you didn't even know what happened for a month! It must have been really difficult to wonder what went haywire so quickly.

Anyway, I'm glad to see that you are going to see a MFM. Here's a link that was helpful to me when I saw mine post-HELLP:

There are tons of questions to choose from.

Keep hanging around and asking questions. There always seems to be someone around to answer.

And congrats on the birth of your son.
Mom to Bennett. 3lbs. 7 oz. 16 inches. Born 11/24/08 at 31 weeks 2 days due to HELLP.

Baby girl on the way, due November 2, 2010.
