I'm 29 + 3 today, and my nausea seems to be coming back. I've been having heartburn, so I assume it is related (baby pushing things around and up), but this didn't happen with my first. I didn't have morning sickness with my first, either, and did with Baby #2, so I don't know if there is a link there either. Is anyone else having this happen, too?

Before you go and freak-out like I just did...here is some info about HELLP
HELLP Syndrome
What is HELLP Syndrome?
HELLP syndrome is a life-threatening pregnancy complication usually considered to be a variant of preeclampsia. Both conditions usually occur during the later stages of pregnancy, or sometimes after childbirth.
HELLP syndrome was named by Dr. Louis Weinstein in 1982 after its characteristics:
H (hemolysis, which is the breaking down of red blood cells),
EL (elevated liver enzymes) and
LP (low platelet count).
A suspicion of HELLP syndrome can be frustrating to the physician when all requirements for its certain diagnosis are not apparent. In some patients who are developing HELLP syndrome the primary preeclampsia indicators of high blood pressure and protein in the urine may not be present, and its symptoms can be mistaken for gastritis, flu, acute hepatitis, gall bladder disease, or other conditions. While some of these other conditions may also be present, there is no evidence they are related.
Early diagnosis is critical because the morbidity and mortality rates associated with the syndrome have been reported to be as high as 25%. As a result, patient awareness of HELLP syndrome, and how it relates to preeclampsia, is helpful to ensure optimal and timely medical care for mother and baby.
Symptoms of HELLP Syndrome
The physical symptoms of HELLP Syndrome may seem at first like preeclampsia. Symptoms reported by the pregnant woman developing HELLP syndrome may include one or all of the following:
Signs to look for include:
Yes! I've had horrible morning sickness (all day sickness) during 1st tri and it started to wear off once I hit 2nd tri. I still occassionally get sick like 1-2 times a week. But every since Friday (Valentine's Day) I have been nauseated and/or vomiting every single day! I was sick with my 1st pregnancy throughout the entire pregnancy, but I'm feeling like I'm reliving the 1st tri all over again! Ugh!!! I'm 27 weeks.
Thanks for this info. I had no idea!
