Anyone have HELLP syndrome?

MrsStubbs

I had it really bad with my 1st and then was induced 2weeks early with my 2nd because my levels were elevated. I just did my GD test today and something on the results have my MW concerned and I have to go back tomorrow for more blood work. I'm only 31wks. I was really hoping that I wouldn't have any issues this time or at least not this early.

I had it with my first.  I had an emergency c at 39 weeks, which was when I got really sick because of it.   I was unlucky because it never showed up in my urine or blood pressure, only blood draw.  I think with this one, they are doing more monitoring.

Hopefully it's nothing too bad. I'm 28.5 wks and developed high blood pressure last weekend. I have not had protein in my urine so I was just diagnosed with pregnancy induced hypertension but my uric acid levels were high and my platelets were low so I'm being watched carefully. I have to go in weekly now. Most women develop it later on during their pregnancy so i'm really worried at this point that it will continue to get worse and I'll be put on bed rest and end up delivering my little guy early. It can come on suddenly so make sure you call the doctor or go to the ER with a severe headache, seeing lights/flashes/spots, sudden severe swelling or severe epigastric pain radiating to the right over by your liver. Best of luck!
