After a subchorionic hemorrhage shortly after learning that I was pregnant I thought that I was having another miscarriage. Thankfully I wasn't but I was put on bed rest. By 30 weeks my liver enzymes were skyrocketing, my platelets were crashing and I couldn't breathe. I was admitted to be delivered without the option to try to let her cook for longer because I was literally dying. While in labor I was diagnosed with pneumonia too. 32 hours of labor later my lil pipsqueak was born at 2lbs 7.9oz. During her stay she was intubated twice, became septic, had a blood transfusion and countless apnea and bradycardia alarms due to recurrent bouts of GERD. TODAY, at 4lbs 12oz, my SugarPants came home after 2 months and 2 days. She was due Tuesday 11.15.16. God is sooooo good. I surprised her dad when I brought her home as I kept it a secret from everyone. She's my pretty girl #preemie 💜

Please do share @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom. And yes that MgSo4 sucked so bad. I literally felt smoke emanating from my ears and was on it for all 3. My middle child was macrosomic (large) at 35 weeks because of my gestational diabetes. I had it with my eldest but not with my baby girl

Even your 35 weeker was born bigger than my 40 weeker (5lbs 11oz, which was bigger than i was and my dad was at birth). I think I started having preeclampsia with my first son but they let me go to 40 weeks with him. I can't remember any of my details with my second son (I have the paperwork but I'm feeding the little guy so I can't get it) but im pretty sure you had it worse. I'm sorry. =[ I think being on magnesium was one of the worst parts of HELLP. that, and literally feeling your liver starting to fail. There's a few other HELLP moms on here but not many. There's a support page on Facebook that I can share with you if you're interested in talking to other HELLP moms.

@kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, I most certainly did with all three of my children. This time was the most severe. I had my eldest with preeclampsia at 40 exactly on his due date at 7 lbs 4oz. My highest b/p was 217/110. My middle child was born at 35 weeks @ 6lbs 7oz with the highest b/p at 164/100. With my daughter my platelets dropped to 98, my ast/alt doubled in a week and my b/p is still high to this very day. HELLP is horrible and I'm so sorry that you had it too.
