Did anyone else develop DIC after labor?

Just wondering if anyone else had the same complications after their labor as I did.  I'm still traumatized 9 months after giving birth, and I have real reservations about having another baby, even though I know the chances of it happening again are slim to none.

I think that is similar to some of the complications that are a part of HELLP and/or severe pre-eclampsia.  Most of us who have had HELLP have lingering difficulties dealing with the trauma and are worried about future pregnancies and births.  This is all pretty much the norm for women after having serious complications.  There have been many posts about these issues on the preemie board, and you would be welcome over there regardless of whether your LO is full-term or a preemie.
