I suffered from sever postpartum preeclampsia. Was sent home and kept going to the urgent care and er. Im still recovering from having to fight it. At one point I could feel my husband shaking me awake and calling me but I couldnt wake up. Thank you fir sharing
The same happened to me after the birth of my third child. I felt sick but didn't know what was wrong with me. I then went to see my obgyn and I was told I had post partum pre-eclampsia and that I should go to the hospital. I don't know why the condition is said to be so rare, yet I see so many women suffering and almost dying from it because they don't know what is wrong with them. There should be more information out there. Many pregnant women don't even know it exists!
Thank you for sharing your experience! In fact while reviewing my discharge sheet, nurse told me not to worry about preeclampsia because I had perfect blood pressure during pregnancy. Your message makes me feel assured that things will get better with medicines. My daughter is 2 weeks old now and I am diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia. Mg Sulfate really made me sick. I’m having a follow up in couple of days. I hope things look better by then. Thanks again for sharing and spreading the awareness.
Praise God you’re doing fine. ☺️ same happened to me. I had a postpartum eclampsia. I went to ER after 5 days i gave birth (normal delivery) And my OB told me to have Magnesium Sulfate to prevent seizures. After taking magnesium for 2 days from the Hospital my blood pressure was back to normal and my doctor gave me Nifedipine 30mg. ( just incase my blood pressure went up) I was told to monitor my blood pressure 3 times a day. And after a day i was discharged from the hospital i checked my blood pressure it went back up again, so i took my medicine right away. i’m taking Once a day, until 2 months. It took 10 weeks for my blood pressure went back to Normal. It was really so scary and serious, But i know God is there for us if we have trust and have faith in Him. God is our Healer!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Take care yourself 🙏🏻❤️ God bless to all Moms!🙏🏻🙏🏻
This sounds like what I went through. One of the scariest moments of my life. Everything was fine until 2 days after birth. I talked about the whole thing on my channel. Glad you and bay are now fine. X
Thank you for sharing your story same happened to me im two months postpartum and finding my way Its been really hard mentaly but i keep god first hand things get better for all of us
My wife gave birth on 4/4/20 and her BP was as high as 180/110 with no history of high bp. Anyone have any success stories please share. I feel absolutely helpless. Thank you all.
Yes, everything is back to normal after 3-5 months. I did get occasional spikes but that was because i didnt sleep the night or stressed. Medication worked i was on Nifedipine. But after sometime i started taking half of the pill because it would lower it wayy to much. So just don’t worry, everything goes to normal! Speaking from experience lol i just was soooo stressed because no one knew what i was feeling.
I am going through this now, I had postpartum preeclampsia 2 days after C section. I’m now 4 weeks postpartum and worried if it will ever go back to normal. It’s been a really hard season for me. My baby is healthy thank god but I have to be honest This has been really scary.
I'm going through postpartum preclamsia now too mt baby is almost a month old. It's been terrible I've been hospitalized 2 times and in and our of ERs since the babies birth still dealing with spikes wvweyday and effects of blood pressure meds. How are you doing now? Did you get better?
@@amylouava5134 im sorry you are going through this. I understand completely. I was in and out of ER 8 times. My liver enzymes were not good and my kidneys were becoming affected by it. I almost died. I was on 600 mg of labalatol and 50 mg of nifedipine for the first 2 months to keep my bp low. Then had to see a cardiologist, he switched my meds and my bp started to stabilize once I was 12 weeks postpartum. My son is now 15 weeks old and I just got off the meds last week. It took a while. My bp is not what it used to be but it’s stable now. I changed my diet to low sodium and I exercised as soon as I got the ok from doctor. That helped. I pray you get better soon.
@@amylouava5134 It’s gonna take time to heal don’t get discouraged. By 12 weeks you will see a big difference. Breathing exercises help too. The only thing that was really affected is my vision, from having such high blood pressures. You will Get better I have faith in Jesus he will heal you like he healed me.
Thank you for sharing. Just to confirm, you said it took about two months for your pressure to return to normal? I don’t have pre eclampsia, but I have postpartum hypertension; currently about 6 weeks postpartum. I’m hoping this isn’t chronic hypertension for me. I want to come off the medicine.
My wife is currently suffering from a high blood pressure. But it took around 1week to know that her blood pressure is high because she is not feeling anything. She just feel a hot sensation at her back. She is currently under hypertension pills and we are worried sick because my newborn daughter just got severe jaundice we just got back from the hospital.
Pradhumna Sapkota hi. I’m still on meds I take 30 mg of procardia everyday. My bp is around 130/86. I had a scare last week. My bp was low so I skipped 2 days of pills. On the 3rd day my bp shot up to 186/110. It was scary. But so far I’m doing ok. I just can’t wait to get back to normal
Hi, Taylor, I saw your story on the preeclampsia foundation page, and how you had postpartum preeclampsia a second time. I am so sorry you had to go through that twice, it's just terrible I had postpartum preeclampsia with my first, who is now 14 months old. I am now 8 weeks pregnant and my doctor has advised to take baby aspirin daily as a preeclampsia prevention. Were you ever advised this, or heard of this?
Thank you, and I’m sorry you had to go through that as well! It is horrible. I was also advised by my dr to take baby aspirin in my second pregnancy, but for me, it didn’t help at all. I’m guessing bc I am perfectly healthy throughout my pregnancy it’s just after birth my body starts going down hill. I would advise maybe to continue taking it afterwards as well. If my husband and I ever decide to have another baby I will be talking to my dr about putting me on blood pressure medicine immediately after I give birth bc I know myself better than they do and I just can’t go through that again. I truly hope you don’t go through it a second time! I wish you all the luck! 😊
The Logans thank you for your response. We will definitely keep a very close eye on my blood pressure this time. Last time my blood pressure was sounding off the alarm, and they discharged us anyway snd told us to keep a close eye on it at home. And we ended up back in the hospital 2 days later. Thank you for sharing your story. Wish all the best for you

Are you having medicine now? I waz on medicne 2/half month ago iwas fine,in the evening it used to spike a little to 130/100!! But 2 days ago it elevated to 180/120 does it happen to eveyone??having it like this also presure goes away in 3/5 months i really need conselling plz help
Hey! So sorry you are going through this! For me, after my first and second child, I was on bp medicine for 2 months, then I didn’t need it and was getting better. After my third child I was only on medicine for 2 weeks thankfully! But I’d definitely talk to your doctor about any problems and if your bp keeps rising go to the ER. You know your body best, so if you don’t feel right speak up! My first two pregnancies I didn’t speak up very much and I didn’t have doctors that wanted to see that there was a problem. Thankfully with my third pregnancy I had an amazing doctor who watched me like a hawk even up to two months after I gave birth. I made sure he knew I was scared. It’s such a scary thing to go through, I hope that you get better soon!
The Logans thank you so much for your replay!!My biggest fear iz does it goes away?or its just taking time!!that iz making me more depressed,what if it doesnot go away!!i cant take care of my daughters by my own!!!
Yes I'm experiencing it now one minute my pressure is ok and next my pressure is sky high my son is 1 week and 6 days I'm currently on 2 different types of medications for it I just pray and try not to stress so my body can deregulate and regulate these pressures
Hi! Sorry it's 5 months later I'm seeing this comment. It's is so scary being in this position. I'm glad you and your baby are doing well! I am pregnant with my second baby right now, 25 weeks, so we are really excited about that! 😊
i’m going through this now it’s so scary... questionnn when you said 2 months later your blood pressure was normal were you still on meds? or were you able to get off themmm?
Thank youu.. i actually had my baby last month may 7 and it was a stillbirth at 37 weeks,. And now going through all this just makes it worse because in th end I didn’t even get to keep my son.. it’s the worst thing ever
