never the same

Preeclampsia Survivors Pictures, Images and Photos

I love my kids and always will but my body is never going to be the same.

I went in for a BP check Thursday and even on the new drugs my BP is high! GRRRR

I'm in a group online for Preeclampsia survivors and from what I hear from others is about half the ladies go on after delivery with no problems and no need for medications and the other half isn't quite as lucky. I guess I just in the other group.

I also have things to look forward to I guess. They are finding things out about women who have had severe Preeclampsia/PIH are at higher risk for more health issues later in life.

But hey don't get me wrong. At least I'm able to join the group Preeclampsia survivors. Many women aren't as lucky, and by what I've been told I'm pretty lucky too!
Love you Jared!

What are we going to do with you?! jk Hopefully, your body will respond to something sometime. I read on your facebook someone mentioned garlic. It's worth a try if you can stand it. We eat a lot of it. Doesn't always make for great smelling breath though. LOL

i swear i was the only mom in the nicu that didn't have preclampsia, so you are definitely not alone. doesn't make it any easier though does it?
