I'm so glad you're hanging in there, with those earlier scary days. Keep us posted!

Welcome! I'm glad you've found us. My guess is that even your doc won't know for sure what that means.

"Early onset preeclampsia, especially if complicated by fetal growth restriction, are associated with anti-phospholipid antibodies. Other phenotypes of preeclampsia, especially HELLP syndrome, were not associated with thrombophilia. We advise only to test for anti-phospholipid antibodies after early...

It is different for everybody. It took me four months to stop taking medication for my blood pressure. Some women must stay on medication throughout their next pregnancies.

How is she today?

I think it would be safe to assume that these conditions correlate to different sorts of brains. Not neurotypical brains.
