Hi, I am looking to get in touch with other mothers that have had HELLP Syndrome. My daughter was born in Feb 05 weighing 3 lbs 2.5 ounces at 30 weeks. I felt fine throughout my pregnancy. The Class I HELLP Sydrome came on very quickly and I almost died. My blood pressure was 220 over 150 and my internal organs had started shutting down. I hoping to come in contact with others that may have had other children after having HELLP.

What can I do next?

Michelle,

I don't have any advice for you, but I just wanted to let you know you are in my prayers, as well as your tiny little blessing from God. Little babies need a lot of care and work, but they are well worth it! My daughter was born at 27 weeks and was 1 lb 3.5 oz and 12 inches long....

Blessings,

C.

I was right there with you with HELLP just last month. I too came close to dying. My little twin boys were born at 30 weeks. Kylar weighed 1pd. 12oz. and Kevin weighed 2pd. 11oz. They were so tiny.

I had HELLP. The doctors totally missed diagnosing it and caught it during labor. I had been having terrible pain and they told me it was gas and poor posture. I had to stay in the hospital for a week. I have met another woman who had HELLP with her 1st prenancy and had 2 other uneventful prenancies and the babies are fine. i plan to have another. Was this your first preg?

Hello - I never progressed to HELLP, but I too had PIH and PE, and my son was born early too and weighed 4lbs 1oz. He was in intensive care for about 2 weeks. He is now almost 6 and he is doing fine. If you have any questions, please let me know! Good luck to you! Hang in there!

I had PIH and PE, but never progressed to HELLP. While I was pregnant I found the forum below. The people on there are great and were very helpful to me.
