<t>A friend of my sister who had twins had both. She had pre-e and was put in the hospital on bedrest for a few weeks and then delivered at 33 weeks because of the pre-e and ended up with a hysterectomy during her section because of placenta accreta. She may just have been a rare case too though I h...

<t>I don't think you are overreacting at all. 160/110 is awful high. The Peri's I saw wanted to start meds when the bottom number got over 100 and my baseline was considerably highter than yours about 130/80's.

<t>Yes they look for free air on the xrays. No free air is good. If she is not sick enough to be back on the vent that is a good sign too at least that is what they told me. I am surprised they did not tell you immediately. They sat me down and told me right away with Randall but the hospital he was...

<t>I would think they would tell you immediately if it were NEC. They did me with Randall. Usually NEC occurs once they are up to full feeds and your little one had just began feedings right? I think Kara is right that you can have a perforation without NEC but I would ask the doctors and nurses to ...

Welcome Jamie, I am sorry you had such a terrible experience with your last pregnancy, many of us can relate. I am glad you found the forum too.
