Hellp Syndrome 😞

Hi ladies! I am new to the group and I wanted to know if anyone that had hellp during their first pregnancy ever got pregnant again? I had my first born last year in March and my whole pregnancy was perfectly normal except the day I went into labor everything went down hill. It was very traumatic as I almost died. Long story short I got submitted for emergency c section because I got preeclampsia and then after the c section I was diagnosed with hellp and also suffered a hemorrhage and ended up in the ICU with a chance of possibly getting my uterus removed. I want another baby but I am terrified of going through this again not knowing what the outcome would be. I always wanted a big family as I am an only child and always wanted to have at-least 2 kids for them to have that bond. I’m constantly fighting this battle in my head and I just really would like to hear your stories and or advice.

I’m currently 24 weeks pregnant with my second. So far so good compared to how I was doing at this point in my last pregnancy. I was already showing signs of pre-eclampsia by this point.I’m also taking asprin this time around and hopefully that helps.

I had hellp with my first at 37+6, I had a normal pregnancy up until that day-never went into labor just had swelling and chest pain. I just had my second child 2 months ago at 40 weeks perfectly normal delivery! I was considered high risk and had a few extra appointments and took baby aspirin. I also saw a hematologist and took iron since I was anemic as well first time around

Anyone?! At my 35 weeks ultrasound im told that the gender I’ve been told at 20 weeks is wrong!

They told me it’s a girl and now at 35 weeks their are telling me it’s a boy. The sonographer has been different everytime! How do I trust anyone at this point?! Here’s a photo of their privates! The one who did it today said she’s 100% certain it’s a boy. Has this happened to anyone here?

Confused about C-section vs vaginal delivery

I’ve had a history of stress incontinence and general pelvic floor weakness before pregnancy and also lower back issues like sciatica before pregnancy. Now I know C-sec is a major surgery with longer recovery times but vaginal birth could lead to worsening of the pelvic floor and worst case scenario could lead to C-sec anyway! So I’m really not sure how to make a decision here, there are so many unknowns of how the birth could go and how the body can react after! Any advice on how you are choosing your way of delivery??

Back pain

Ladies i seem to be struggling with pain down the right side of my back from about above my love handles to past my bum any advise?
I did have an epidural during my second labour and my right leg was a lot more dead to the point I couldn’t move my right leg without help wondering if this is anything to do with it
