Post partum HELLP

Hi ladies, just wondering if anyone else developed HELLP syndrome after giving birth? I gave birth to my LO in June 2020 and about 15 mins after delivery (forceps) I developed a massive headache and my BP went through the roof and my heart rate hit the floor. I was given Lalbitalol and the headache subsided. I was then started on Magnesium sulfate for 24hours. Luckily I didn't have to take anything else and was able to go home after a week in hospital. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience? Thanks xx

Yes, I had this experience almost 2 years ago. Developed preeclampsia and hellp syndrome, and delivered our first born at 26/27weeks. Unfortunately he passed a few days later. We are now pregnant again, and have been able to catch the preeclampsia early - 33 weeks this week and planning to deliver next week!

Pelvic floor pain second trimester HELP😭

Hello girlies! Does anyone started experiencing pelvic floor pain around week 21? kind of like cramp that doesn’t go away? 😭 I mean it does go away eventually but it comes back and stay most of the time. I started since week 21! Does somebody know if this is related to baby growth? And do you know if it’s just lasting a little bit? I don’t imagine the other half of pregnancy with this pain😭 Help! 😭 I literally been in hospital but they said it might be the ligaments and can improve in different sitting positions, but its no even about position because the pain increase an decrease in the exactly same position 🄺 Any clue or advice?

Birthday Party FailšŸ˜”

This is a rant...Why are parties such a hard thing to throw now-a-days? We are throwing my 3 year old a birthday party on Saturday and it just seems like no one can make it or those who said they would all of a sudden cancel last second...I feel so defeated throwing birthday parties...I absolutely love throwing birthday parties and seeing my kids faces during it...but knowing every year that more and more people probably won't show up just feels sucky...idk..does anyone else feel like this when throwing parties? It just sucks to not have friends her age and to not have many friends ourselves..
