Liz thank goodness you are back!! I dont know if you realise how important you are to all of us. I use to post in the other forum under name Iris but now decided to "come out" using my own name. Dont know if you remeber me, as I am not a regular poster but I am the liver rupture woman!! So thank you for setting up this fantastic forum. I will post my story one day, but I'l have to take a deep breath first. I will always be available for any help for people suuffering from PE, HELLP and liver rupture if anyone else here has ever had this happen to them. Wishing you all the good luck with this forum, Riina x

Hi Riina,
Welcome to the site! Of course I remember you - even if you were Iris!

I look forward to reading your story one day, but do understand that you have to be in the right frame of mind to face going over it all in detail. Sometimes though, writing your story can be quite 'healing' in its own right.
Either way I am sure you will be a great source of encouragement & support to others who might join us.
Best wishes
Liz

Welcome back Liz and what a relief for me and many more I'm sure!

I already feel more confident in trying for another baby because you and everyone on this forum understands how difficult a decision it is to try again and I know what great support you offer!

As yet I'm still waiting for the results of the blood tests but as soon as I have news I'll let you know.

It really is great to have you back!

Hi Paula,
Welcome,
Congrats on pregnancy and of course little Grace.
Have you seen a consultant yet? or been advised to take aspirin?
I had my daughter at 31 wks and then went onto achieve a term pe free pregnancy , so if you are looking for hope, here it is.
If there is anything i can help with just shout,
Best wishes,

Hi Mrs Cav,
Congrats on the birth of Grace, sorry to hear she arrived so early & that you had to go through PET.
Big congrats on your current pregnancy - I was completely shocked when I found out I was pregnant with no 2 so understand exactly how you feel. May be worthwhile getting an early appointment with your obstetrician to get advice about supplements/aspirin etc to keep the chance of PET occurring again as low as possible & hence reduce any worries for you & your other half.
Love

Sorry just overlapped with Penny!

Hi Everyone.

Thanks for the warm welcome i'm much more at ease now reading everyone's stories of PE free second pregnancies. I've seen the doc and dur to go to the midwife so she will arrange for me to see the consultant. I'm lucky as the consultant who helped me with my infertility is the same one i'll be seeing in this pregnancy.

I'm so glad i found this site it's helpd so much already, just got to get over the sickness and tiredness now.

I have been told about the one a day asprin but the doc said she couldn't prescribe so got to wait for that.
