Thank you for making this doc. I nearly died of this illness last March though I am recovering well (despite massive stroke/coma/brain injury) and baby Sarah is doing great. I am convinced that injecting lovenox, a blood thinner, enabled me to carry her to term. Lovenox was my idea after I sought the advice of a reproductive immunologist, btw. No one but me thought it necessary but my doctors humored me and allowed it. Thanks for doing this doc.

Thank you for sharing this very personal insight into HELLP Syndrome. It is unclear when I developed HELLP Syndrome in my twin pregnancy as I did not have any classic signs of it. We delivered one of our twins, while the smaller of the two was delayed to enable her to grow and develop more, this is when I unfortunately started to show signs and before we knew it, the oxygen supply to baby was cut through her cord and she passed. Please insist on getting checked. I am so sorry for your loss x

I had HELLP Syndrome with the birth of my daughter, and I wanted to thank you for bringing some awareness to this tragic topic.

Thank You for trying to educate people on HELLP. I developed HELLP after having seizures in my bathroom due to eclampsia with my twin girls at 32 weeks of pregnancy. I woke up 3 days later in the ICU and found out my twins were taken by C-section and I was put on life support. I have no memory of thier birth. After they were born, I also developed Postpartum cardiomyopathy (or heart failure) and spent 2 weeks in the hospital. I feel for your pain and hope for your healing from this tragedy.

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm a nursing student and am going to do a paper on HELLP syndrome, because I too had never heard of it! I am a mother of two grown children. Bless you.
