Just saw this article, and thought I would post and see if others had thoughts! It suggests that mothers seek out a family practictioner or midwife instead of an OB in order to avoid a c-section, and I immediately thought of past discussions on the PF forum about negative experiences with family pra...

I think there's a board policy against making referrals to specific physicians in forum posts, but if anyone would be willing to send me a private message, I have a cousin with a history of preeclampsia who may need a perinatal specialist in the New Jersey area. Specifically near Hightstown, NJ, and...

Long time no post! I hope all my 2010 bedrest buddies are doing well :D I recently saw this on a moms discussion board, and thought I would get others' take on it here.

Hello post-preeclampsia moms, I wanted to post a heads up about an opportunity to help preeclampsia research by participating in a study being conducted by the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine at Texas Health Presbyterian in Dallas.

My MFM had me stay on LDA through the day before delivery (c-section), I had no complications with the delivery.

I was on one shot of prefilled lovenox each day until the end, when I was switched to heparin. I bruised quite a bit while on the lovenox. Good luck with finding answers!!
