    Preeclampsia survivor here. Needed to see this to understand the biology of what happened to me and why. I developed preeclampsia in matter of few hrs and had 4gm of protein in urine when tested. Baby was delivered within fews hrs of diagnosis (we could only take one corticosteroid shot) and delivered my son at 29+3 gestational age. He’s almost 15months now (adjusted 1year)

    Thank you for this succint description of preeclampsia and eclampsia. I has HELLP syndrome at 22 weeks and the doctors delivered my baby but they refused to save him because he was 22 weeks and had IUGR. They 100 % believed he would not survive. This happened three weeks ago and we had his funeral service yesterday. I have been tying to understand why this happened when I had no history of hypertension before pregnancy and not until my checkup at 22 weeks. The placenta was never studied so I don’t know if the blood vessels were abnormal. And I was not tested for any placental factors. But I had every symptom of preeclampsia you described. I had a BMI of 29 before peeganancy. I gained four pounds by 21 weeks and gained 10 pounds by 22 weeks definitely from edema. I had incredible neck pain and stiffness since week 20. I had really bad lower ligament pain since 15 weeks. I felt bloaded right between my chestbone by my stomach throughout pregnancy. Everything was completely back to normal two weeks after delivery. Do you know what I can do to decrease my risk of abnormal placental formation and preeclampsia in the future?

    First of all, I am so, so sorry for your loss. Secondly, unfortunately there is nothing you can do to control the proper growth of the placenta & umbilical cord. However, there are a few things you can do to keep the life-threatening symptoms in check. 1. Start low dose (81mg) aspirin 2x a day as soon as you find out you're pregnant. 1 in the morning, 1 before bed. Aspirin is a vaso-dilator and a blood thinner, which allows your blood vessels to relax and your thin blood is favorable for passing through those blood vessels. 2. Eat potassium rich foods. Potassium is key in helping kidney function, as HELLP is characterized by proteinuria and kidney damage. When you consume potassium rich foods, they allow for better kidney filtration. Bananas, dark leafy greens, sweet potatoes, etc. 3. Avoid sodium! HELLP is a type of hypertension, and hypertension is caused/made worse by eating a lot of salt. When you have HELLP, your kidneys hold onto sodium, which also contributes to the swelling that characterizes this disease. 4. Drink lots of water. 8-10 glasses a day is recommended. Make sure the water you're drinking is safe to drink. Lead poisoning from water has been linked to preeclampsia and HELLP. Drinking water with your potassium rich foods will help filter your kidneys to their best ability. 5. Relax. Put yourself into a healthy, calm mindset. Do light exercises like yoga, stretching, and walking. Stress is absolutely directly linked to hypertension, so avoid getting overly emotional (I know. It's almost impossible when you're pregnant). When you find yourself in a stressful or upsetting situation, stop and take a moment to take big, deep breaths and focus on relaxing yourself. Meditation has been shown to help this part of the disease. Again, I am so sorry this happened to you. I developed HELLP at 24 weeks and by some miracle I delivered at 26+3 and was able to save my son. Unfortunately as of right now, there are only a few hospitals in the United States (I don't know where you are) that allow mothers to deliver and try to keep their babies alive at 22 weeks. People are making pushes to change this. You and mothers in your situation deserve so much better. I will be praying that you have a healthy pregnancy and give birth to a healthy, happy baby. ❤️ Best of luck to you.

    I agree. I had no hypertension issue during or before pregnancy, but I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia around 35th week because of protein in my urine. I was induced at the starting of 37th week and after a week of delivery I had an episode of high blood pressure and had to rush to ER. Since then, I was put on medicine for HTN. Can you please let me know what are the symptoms of pre-eclampsia postpartum? How to diagnose it?

    In the history taking for the development of Pre-eclampsia : Pre-eclampsia may come from the mother in law of the woman who is pregnant - Probably pointing to the fact that it also has an auto-immune basis. X chromosomes have something to do with immunity - woman have 2 X chromosomes, this is probably one of the reasons why women are more likely to develop auto-immune diseases - for eg - Grave' s disease; Hashimoto's thyroditis; Multiple sclerosis; Myasthenia Gravis; Systemic Lupus Erythematosus(SLE)(Lupus); Rheumatoid arthritis; Sjögren's syndrome. It adds up because the husband of the woman who is pregnant has his X chromosome from his mother.

    I'm confused. Is hypertension occurring to compensate for decreased O2 supply or is it purely a symptom of endothelial cell damage? just wondering in relation to treating hypertension, if it is a compensatory mechanism wouldn't it be harmful to lower the blood pressure as less blood would make it to the placenta? or is it a situation where we are trying to lower BP to avoid damage to mum but not cut off supply?
