  Welcome! This is a great board for preemie support and information!
  I hope you are able to take care of yourself as much as possible from your surgery while trying to be a mom to a baby in the NICU..    Unfortunately, this challenge isn't covered very well in "What to Expect" type books.   There are a lot of strong women here who can cheer you and your little one on.
  Best wishes on a quick & healthy NICU stay and going home soon!

  Congratulations on the birth of your daughter, but I am sorry you have to join us! I also had HELLP syndrome and my daughter was born at 31 weeks 3 days in May 2013. To echo PP, take good care of yourself while your dd is in the NICU. It gets very taxing. Wishing you a short & uneventful NICU stay!

  My daughter was born 8 weeks early due to pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome as well. I'm also very glad that I found this community because it's very overwhelming dealing with this. your daughter is super adorable!

  Welcome and congrats!
  
  I'm also a HELLP mom! My dd was born at 29-6 weighing 2lb 3oz. We had a 66 day NICU stay and she's now almost 15mos.
  
  Take care of yourself and be prepared to be amazed at the little peanut--they're fighters!!

  Welcome! My twins arrived at 32 weeks even due to HELLP and preeclampsia. We spent 46 days in the nicu but they told us that twins usually take a bit longer to develop. Best of luck and congrats on your baby!
