"…The good news is that in each pregnancy I carried longer..."

carebear_cbg@hotmail.com I found out about your society through a search, because I wanted to know my risks with a second pregnancy.  Well, all went well, very well.  I was due November 27th and gave birth on the 14th.  I went into labor naturally without the need to break my water.  I had a labor and delivery that went awesome, lasting a little over 4 hours. My baby was born 6 lbs. 15 oz. and was 18.5 inches long.  My fluid level was monitored closely, and it was usually at the low end of normal.  It started dropping around the 37th week.  I really watched my sodium intake, since sodium makes a body retain water.  Oh, and my first child with whom I had HELLP, will be three next week and is doing just as well.

westkk@cox.net Our 3rd baby was born June 19th at almost 36 weeks. For the third time I started having HELLP issues and I had to be delivered a bit earlier than expected.  The good news is that in each pregnancy I carried longer.  He did great and came home with us.  He is thriving now and our family is now complete.  If there are any folks who are considering a second or third pregnancy feel free to contact me.
