We lost our baby
I got Preeclampsia at 25.5 weeks and was admitted to the hospital, they transfered me to our local hospital that could handle babies born that young (our lady of lourdes in camden NJ). I lasted another week at the hospital but had to have a c-section on thanksgiving at 26.5 weeks because my platlet count was dropping and my blood presure was rising, they were worried my blood wouldn't clot. The baby was doing really well, she was breathing on her own and I got to hear her cry when she was born, but she started to have bleeding in her brain two days after she was born. I'm so heart broken. I have been staying at my parents house since I was released from the hospital. Preeclampsia has so many unknowns and I don't know if I will be able to carry a baby full term. I just wanted to let you guys know.

Val, I remember your posts about how much you wanted to have a baby, and I am so extremely sorry that this terrible tragedy has occurred. I'm sending super powerful prayers to you, your husband and the entire family to help you all find comfort and strength during this very difficult time.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. During my career, I cared for many patients pre-term/delivery and post-delivery with pre-eclampsia, it can be hard to get under control sometimes.

I am extremely sorry to hear about this, I understand how hard this must be for you, although I do not have a child yet. This isn't quite the same, but we had a friend who suffers from Grand Mal seizures, they had a baby girl and at 4 years old she was diagnosed with brain cancer and later died. It has been about 4 years since then and they just had a new baby boy, amazingly the doctor said she could never have a baby again because of the seizures. Although this must be intensly hard for you, we are all here for you and things will get easier with time, but you will never forget.
