Re: Blood pressure issues
I'm so sorry you are still dealing with high blood pressure (BP). Recovery after preeclampsia is highly individual, some posters have their BP come back down in hours, some in days, some in weeks, some in months and some never quite return to their pre-pregancy baseline. As for me personally, I deve...

Re: Severe Swelling
Hi Jessica, and welcome to the forums. Does your doc know that your swelling is "moving towards your hands?" If not, I would definitely call and let him know that you have noticed an increase in swelling. I'd also call if you have gained more than a few pounds in the last week. Are you monitoring yo...

Re: New here: Recovery time after HELLP
Welcome to the forums.
I'm so sorry for your losss. Recovery after preeclampsia/ HELLP is highly individual. For me personally, after having severe preeclampsia with my first it took a few months for me to feel human again. I'm sure it didn't help that I was severely anemic after delivery.

Re: Questions about preeclampsia
Basically the criteria for severe preeclampsia are bad blood work results, severely high pressures, signs of possible cerebral edema (hyperreflexia, severe head pain, and/or visual disturbances), or pulmonary edema. During my first pregnancy my main symptom of rapidly worsening preeclampsia was feel...

Re: Exhausted...
Destiny, Welcome to the forums. I'm so sorry to hear that you are hurting. So they think the cyst is the source of your pain? I know from experience round ligament pain can be quite painful, I went to the ER vomiting from pain around 20 weeks and it turned out to be ligament pain (and I have a high ...

Re: Looking for ideas on how to support a co-worker
I think the most important thing is to acknowledge their loss in some way, regardless of method. A close friend who lost her baby shared that it was hurtful when people she knew said or did nothing, much more so than people who might have just inadvertently said the "wrong" thing in their efforts to...
