suzylaas@netscape.com I just wanted to give an update and some hope to those out there considering a second pregnancy.  I developed HELLP syndrome with my first son at 34 weeks. Both of us did fine but I was physically and emotionally shaken by the experience.  This pregnancy I was under the guidance of a fantastic perinatologist.  Although I did not have high blood pressure before conception I was prescribed a b.p. medication, to assure my vascular system was in perfect condition pre conception.  Throughout the pregnancy I took a low dosage of a different b.p. medication.  My cardiac output was monitored closely, as was the growth of the baby.  The pregnancy went great, no  PIH, or HELLP.  I was induced a week early just as a preventative measure of caution.  It was such a rewarding and healing experience to bring a baby home.  Thanks for all of the support you provide us all.

thedyerfamily@hotmail.com It's been a while since I last emailed you guys, but I wanted to give you a quick update about my pregnancy after HELLP. I developed HELLP at 32 weeks with my first son, but I am very pleased to tell you that I had no complications what-so-ever in my second pregnancy and just delivered our second son! He was born full term and completely healthy!
