Anyone else have experience with HELLP syndrome during pregnancy?
Hi, I had HELLP over a year ago with my DD. Just thought I'd post the question since there is not a lot of support/questions/answers out there.
HELLP syndrome is a group of symptoms that occur in pregnant women who have:
- H -- hemolysis (the breakdown of red blood cells)
- EL -- elevated liver enzymes
- LP -- low platelet count
Usually occurs before 37 week mark and there can be issues with the baby due to early arrival, as the only cure is to get the baby out.
Just looking to extend support, it can be very devastating. :(
