<t>I've been getting NSTs and mine will decel from an average of 140s down to the 110s occasionally too. It scared me as well, thinking that it was obviosuly too low but my doctors are also ok with it. From my understanding, it's like Caryn said, it depends on how quickly baby goes back to the norm....

Beth,

I just sent another, it will come from julie.feller@preeclampsia.org. If you haven't received it, can you email me at the address to make sure I've got your correct one?

Thanks!

<r>Evette,<br/> <br/> Hi and welcome to you! I'm so glad to hear that your son is now a healthy 5 year old after such an early start!<br/> <br/> Yes, it is possible to have a successful pregnancy after a previous one with HELLP.

If I wasn't getting a C-section, I'd probably push Dh to do it, but I figure it'll be easier this way. My OB told me that the recovery should be no different.</t>

<t>Brittni,<br/> <br/> Hi and welcome to you, congratulations on the birth of your little boy! I hope that he is doing well, and that you will soon be able to get rid of this swelling. Many women continue to experience some sort of issues during the postpartum period, is your doctor aware of this ex...

Lots of prayers coming your way!!!

Gwyn,

Do your docs know about those high (147/104) readings at home, even after inactivity?

I'm sorry that it's staying high, I do hope they're able to buy you some more time.

<t>Susannah,<br/> <br/> I'm sorry to hear that you're having bp issues already, but like Trish said - this may be chronic hypertension. Not that that is a great thing but, like she also said, you still have a great chance of making it to term. Women with chronic hypertension stand a 25% chance of de...
