- It's important to know that delivery is not the cure for preeclampsia. Any woman can develop preeclampsia after her baby is born, whether she experienced high blood pressure during her pregnancy or not. Moms need to continue to monitor their health after delivery. Recognizing these warning signs can save your life!
No one warned me this could happen postpartum. I was in hospital 5 days. I went home and that night was readmitted. My blood pressure was 208/118 at ER. That headache...morphine nothing touched it. They gave me benadryl to make me pass out and I couldnt see the tv above my bed because of my eyesight. My reflexes were super jumpy. I also couldnt hold my baby without someone in the room as they were worried about seizures. It was so scary and I had to take BP meds for a few months. I'm grateful I am fine and no long term damage. My BP is normal now. Thank you for making this video. So scary and idk why doctors don't mention this can happen postpartum!!! I had no idea til it happened!!!
Hy what did they do? How they treat
@@kdeepika1970 I was readmitted for 5 or 6 days I dont remember. They first in ER gave me meds to bring down blood pressure and started magnesium drip with a big bolster. I think I got IV mag for at least 3 or 4 days. They scanned my heart and some other things. Then put a catheter in cuz they had to measure urine as my kidneys were being damaged. They tested my blood and reflexes hourly for first few days. Gave me pain meds. Once they could control my blood pressure with just BP meds they watched me another day and then released me with blood pressure meds . I took those for like 3 months and then one day passed out. Went to dr and they found my blood pressure had finally after months returned to normal without the meds. So I was very lucky.
They dont talk about it! My sister experienced it 10 days after birth and like you she spent a week in hospital. And to make matters worse she was reacting to the magnesium stuff.. Such a scary time.
Im glad that you are fine now.
It was do scary and i had to take bp meds for a few months
@@maxineramsy1425 thanks. The magnesium is nasty stuff and dangerous. That's why they keep iv in and test ur blood every few hrs. If u dont get enough it won't stop seizures but too much can stop ur heart. They have to keep u in the sweet spot. It's pretty scary and makes u feel just awful. I couldnt see straight, walk, talk, sleep, nothing. What was ur sisters reaction? So glad she is okay, too.
Paying attention to my body saved my life in November 2020. I was sick during the pregnancy. But things turned a week after delivery. Ladies be vigilant.
It took me about 6 months to feel "normal" again, but I was on bp meds for five years after the birth of my last child. There is hope after post partum pre-eclampsia! BTW: During my C-section, bp spiked at 245/140! I am lucky to be here today!
Hi u arenot on presure meds now??
What hypertensive meds were prescribed for you ?
Yes indeed by God’s Grace you made it through with such high bp.
@@Genesis55555 how are you?
God bless you 🥺🙏🏾❤️ I’m kinda dealing with the same thing I’m over 12 weeks post partum & my blood pressure is still spiking. I didn’t have this issue with my first kid it stabilized quick. Im praying I can soon get off these meds and feel like myself again.
I gave birth normal delivery,i passed out immediately the nurse started the v-stitching I couldn’t see things anymore I was ice cold from head to legs I passed out next I woke up the nurses told me my bp was high immediately after pushing my baby out that day was the scariest day of my life.be careful of this midwife must of them are careless thank God my mother was there with me and all thanks to God almighty for my life .
Yeah, midwife SUCK!!! They are overrated. I drank the cool aid, f-cked around and found out....
I was at the doctors office 6 days postpartum and my bp was 155/101. I had never before has high bp. My OB wasn’t concern stating that if it was in fact postpartum preeclampsia it would have occurred in the first 48 hours after delivery. Now doing all my research I realized this condition can happen within 6 weeks of having a baby and some women experience it up to 12 months of having their babies. So yeah he’s is I’ll-informed or a complete liar. I don’t trust my OB anymore. The day after seeing him I developed a constant pounding headache that affected my eyesight and I knew I had to go into the ER to be sure it wasn’t serious. I was put on labetalol 100mg 2x daily with a bp of 158/102. They also have a migraine cocktail of reglan, Benadryl, and torodol iv. Labetalol however seems to be short acting in my case and I usually have to take 3 a day to keep my bp down at nights. I do have a constant pounding headache still though which usually gets better after I take my bp med.
How are you now?
Do you drink caffeine or coffee?
A week after i Gave birth, I always feel sharp pain in my neck shoulder and lower head and it wont go away, i cant lay down because the pain getting worse, and my BP went to 180/110 from 90/70 (when i was pregnant) Until now, Im suffering from pain. I went to my Doctor she just gave me amplodipine. And advice me to go to ER when my BP gets higher. Im scared pls Pray for me.
Jesus I ask that you please cover Ceej Alano and her baby with your healing hands, heal her body from inside out, ease her mind and help her to remember there is nothing to big for you to handle, in Jesus name Amen 🙏🏾
@@ontheuprizehaircare Thankyou so much ❤
May Allah give u fast recovery dear
@@ceeja9400 Hi,are you okay now? How long does you take your med?
@@rodisonlozano3599 Starting that day, My mother giving me Pure Calamansi Juice, Natural no sugar. Everyday, Every morning and before going to bed. Then a month after, I recovered. My BP started to went down. And Ofcourse i didnt forget to pray.
BUT, until now i am still suffering from Carpal Tunnel which is my Hands and Feet joints and muscles are painful, my baby is now 5months old and Healthy that is all matter The most.
I had high blood pressure after my first child. I didn’t have it while pregnant and thought I was out of the woods because I had given birth. A few days after giving birth my migraines started they made noise and light very unbearable. I had my veins in my arms and wrist bulging I had to go to the ER.
My wife delivered a baby boy by c section after 5 hrs she died what are reasonably cause pls answer me
Eish my condolences for your loss
First, I am so so sorry for your loss.
Secondly, was she diagnosed with HELLP or pre-eclampsia? If she was diagnosed with HELLP, she may have had low platelets, which could lead to potential internal hemorrhage. If she had high blood pressure, she could have had a hemorrhagic stroke that went undetected. Was she on a magnesium drip? There are a lot of factors. What was her condition before delivering?
So sad. Prayers
Im sorry.
I'm so sorry for you loss
I delivered a baby with c.section..after 24 hours I got worst pain in my head n on my upper shoulders...re admitted at hospital n got know that I have severe spinal headache due to dural puncture... still facing the same
Hi is it resolved?
same happened to me after my 3rd c.sec ...
I gave birth to twins and my bp spiked afterwards. I kept hemorrhaging internally and externally. My uterus was removed to stop it.
Oh no so sorry this has happened to you.
@@Genesis55555 how are you ?
How do they know you’re hemorrhaging internally and externally? Sorry for the dumb question. Also sorry you got your uterus removed but thank goodness you have your twins ❤️❤️
Was it immediate? I was hemoragging but they wouldn't check why my stomach hadn't gone back down still over a year pp. Ugh I'm just sick of these doctors
Plz someone tell me how i need to take medicine for BP, im taking medicine from four months still its not settled down completely sometimes it is high
If you are taking labetelol it's useless or amlodipine both won't work now. You must go and see a good physician and take some ace inhibitor medicines. Also get your proteinuria checked.
Yes
What if you see one or two bright spots once in a while - say, once a day?
I asked that when I was 38 weeks and the ob said "probably just from sanding up too fast" I then gave birth by csection 4¹ weeks with a BP surge of almost 300. Going blind in one eye now, searching legal counsel now as he almost died too
I have high bp 140/90 after delivery. But I don’t feel any sickness. Baby is 5 days old. Do i need to consult?
Worth calling your healthcare provider and asking them to do a postpartum BP check.

Is there anything in particular that puts a woman at risk for preeclampsia/eclampsia?
You’d think so but I am a workout junkie, 5’2”, 110 lbs, incredibly fit, no illness of any kind, super healthy, very low blood pressure and I had preeclampsia! Everyone I knew was stunned.
I guess it can happen to anyone.
There are known risk factors - including having had a previous history or family history of preeclampsia (on your or your husband's family), it being your first-time pregnancy, having multiple gestation (i.e., pregnant with more than one baby), a history of chronic high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease or organ transplant, being overweight or obese, certain autoimmune or infertility conditions (example lupus, PCOS, rheumatoid arthritis), and being of African descent. That being said, a woman can have absolutely NO risk factors and still develop it. You can read more on our FAQ page: www.preeclampsia.org/faqs
@@bellalunaoxox it is very scary bcuz preeclampsia doesn’t care if you are healthy. So scary makes you not want yo have more kids 😭
Same here I was a workout junkie until I got pregnant, blood pressure during the entire pregnancy and during my induction was always 110, 115, 107.. Then after birth my feet and legs got super swollen and i went back to the ER and my BP was 145
Is it possible that postpartum preeclampsia iz cured after a year of having baby?or bp med be be stopped
I m 4 months post partum and still on medication bp usually stays normal but sometimes i get high readings

Cute bp? It will only treated. Try ketogenic diet but do your research. Anti-inflammatory diets are the best for h bp
