Check in!
I know it has been awhile since I have checked in to the forums. I am a professional lurker! Today, I had my 16 week checkup. Good news is that my BP is staying normal (124/80 today) and I am still down 4 lbs overall this pregnancy. Currently, I am on LDA, prenatals and zoloft for my crazy anxiety. ...

Re: Lost my grandchild due to Eclampsia
The defintion of preeclampsia is "lighting fast" because it can move so fast. Everything can be fine at one appointment and then get bad very quickly.
My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family at this difficult time.

Re: Feel like I've been lying to myself
I've said it many times that there needs to be a "Now what? Life after preeclampsia" section on the forums. For those of us that don't fall neatly into any category. It's hard to spend alot of time in G&L anymore. I love G&L and got so much support there right after our loss, but I know if I hang ou...

Feel like I've been lying to myself
Hi Ladies, It's been awhile since I've been on the boards.

We lost our son at 34+5 almost 6 years ago. ...

Re: tough visit with RE
I was very much in your shoes a few years ago. Thanks to all the surgeries it took to keep me alive from PE, I have severe scar tissue. My left ovary is pretty much stuck to another organ and my left tube is stuck to it. I had lap surgery done to try and clean some of it up, but my RE was scared to ...
