[quote=Anonymous][quote=jindc]Wow how did they diagnose you, pp? [/quote] With borderline BP, I was sent for follow on bloodwork just to be safe. The bloodwork showed high liver enzymes, low platelets, and hemolysis. I was immediately induced. Magnesium sulfate is given to reduce the risk of seizures. I was asymptomatic - I did not have headaches, see stars, have pain in the side. 90% of women will have these symptoms. I was in total shock - went in for a routine 36 week appt and ended up being induced a few hours later. Not what I had planned... But at least my son was healthy! And just to add it in - I was not overweight. Prior to getting pregnant I ran marathons and triathalons. Obesity has nothing to do with it. I did a ton of research after the fact, and there is no causation between obesity and pe and HELLP. Obesity can raise BP, but high BP alone is not a diagnosis of either.[/quote]
