Darn, I wish I was Chilean!

Thanks Caryn!

Okay, this is the second time I've heard this and I have no idea if there is any truth to it. Caucasian women have a higher instance of HELLP than minority groups. Is this true? I'm technically mixed, but mainly Scandinavian. I've also heard being African American raises your risk factor for PE. Tru...

Hey! I'm at 3 years now, too. My husband had a vasectomy, as well! We adopted our second child from Ethiopia. He is amazing! My husband was really reluctant to adoptions for YEARS. He finally realized it was something that was right for him, too. This was a couple of years before we had our biologic...

And the high bp visual disturbances are more white distinct not moving spots? I had those moving sparkles right when i started developing PE. I sometimes g...

Oh, we should really be related. I woke up today with a pounding heart and a panic attack. I did a cardio at-home work out and that helped a lot. I think what feeds my panic attack is the fact that I think it is happening because there is something wrong with my heart. My sister gets them, too. She ...

Okay, this has been a question I keep forgetting to ask, and I'm thinking it will help some pregnant women with symptoms. When I was pregnant I would see "stars" randomly (Like when you've been hit in the head or stand up too fast) like little moving sparkles. When I went in the first time to labor ...
