Any other eclampsia survivors? Or placental abruption survivors? I had both and sometimes I just hold my baby and cry... If I wouldn't have gone to the hospital when i did, I would've lost my son and possibly my own life. I think I'm suffering from PTSD because of it all... And I get so envious of my friends who have good labors and follow their birth plans... Anyone else?

I didn't have eclampsia or an abruption, but I had a similar experience with chorioamnionitis. My amniotic fluid got infected and both baby and I got really sick. They had to do an emergency C-section but the infection made it so they couldn't stop the bleeding, I lost a quarter of my blood supply and had to be rushed to a different hospital that had a better ICU. My son was in the NICU at the first hospital for a week and I couldn't see him because my hospital didn't have space in their NICU for him. I still have nightmares about them rushing him out of the operating room and the doctors pumping me full of drugs to try and stop the bleeding, then lowering the drape to tell me they might have to do a full hysterectomy if the bleeding didn't stop before I passed out from the blood loss. I'm so sorry you had such a horrible experience, I'm here if you ever need someone to talk to.
@Mrs. sarahbeth, my son spent 2 weeks in the nicu also. It's just a very traumatic experience and hard to cope with emotions
