HELPP/Pre-eclampsia

Trista suffered from HELLP during her pregnancy. The only cure for HELPP is having the baby, so that's why they induced Trista early.

HELLP syndrome is a rare but serious illness in pregnancy. This illness can start quickly, most often in the last three months of pregnancy. It can also start soon after you have your baby.

Symptoms:
Headaches
Blurred Vision
Malaise
Nausea/Vomiting
Abdominal Pain
Swelling in Face or Hands
Bleeding from Gums

Rupture of the liver may occur in certain cases.

Have you had HELLP syndrome or pre-eclampsia? Share below.

Trista, I am so sorry you went through this. I too had HELLP and almost died during childbirth. Luckily, they induced me in time but (like you) my liver was failing. Thankfully everything turned out all right. Good luck to you.
