My Uterine Artery Rupture An Severe Preeclampsia Story

This is a long one…I had 3 miscarriages before my daughter, unexplained reasons. At 38 weeks with my daughter I woke up and everything was blurry. I was told go to the hospital right now. When I got there my BP was 174/110. After laboring for 36 hrs & pushing for 4, we did a csection. I woke up hours later and was told after csection I was bleeding a lot & they did an emergency surgery. They found my left uterine artery ruptured. I had a giant upside down T and 29 staples on my belly. I lost 3 1/2 L of blood. 6 blood transfusions. My preeclampsia did not go away, I developed fluid in my lungs and around my heart that ICU removed twice. After that I was on BP and a heart medicine for 12 weeks post delivery.
