Ed: This links to an abstract of a study looking at cases of preeclampsia that were not diagnosed until the postpartum period, and encourages continued monitoring of symptoms into the postpartum period.

Hi,
Thanks for the article. I was perfectly fine until I developed preeclampsia in week 35 and had an emergency c section that same day. The scary part was getting HELLP, six days after delivery(I was home already and had to go back to the hospital for another 2 weeks!)

My sister develop postpartum pre-eclampsia after she was home for a week, she was then rushed back to the hospital and spent a week there. Her b/p was normal during her pregnancy, she did have an issue with her amniotic fluid.
