In this video a patient presents with preeclampsia 10 days after her baby was born.
We are severe, complicated Preeclampsia survivors (also deemed as HELLP). In honor of our triumph, this video is dedicated to my keikis (children) ages 0-4. My daughters were emergency c-sectioned when my blood pressure climbed past 176/125 in a very severe, complicated and rapid on-set of pre-eclampsia--which led to protein in my urine and rapid weight gain within hours v=before delivery. Everyone's situation is different; in my case, I went in for a regular check-up and my blood pressure would not stop climbing. I was sent to the ER and put on Magnesium and Morphine. A scale was brought in as my body was virtually expanding (swelling to a disfigured belief--gaining 5 lbs in water retention within 2 hours). Barely responsive, to feeling like I could no longer breath, completely restless and very hot--the signs indicating that I was on the verge of a brain hemorrhage. The doctors decided to perform an emergency C-section and deliver my daughters 5.2 weeks early. They were sent to the NICU and I was sent to special care--as doctors could not keep my blood pressure stable and were uncertain how things would go for me. Three weeks after I had my children, I dropped almost 60 lbs in water retention and baby--as unbelievable as it sounds, it is true. Though I spent 2 years on high blood pressure medication due to the complications of the pregnancy, I eventually got off meds--much of this had to do with a low-sodium diet and lots of exercise. The purpose of the explanation is ...

Preeclampsia, a condition that usually occurs late in pregnancy, can cause sudden headaches, swelling, pain, nausea, high blood pressure and in rare cases, seizure and death. In 2009 the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research participated in the CAPPS study, which tested high doses of Vitamins C and E to prevent preeclampsia in low-risk pregnant women. This video recounts the devastating effects that preeclampsia can have on the mother and baby and describes the trial to try and prevent the condition. Wendy Smith, MD, MPH, from the Northwest Permanente Medical Group says the study showed that vitamins do not prevent preeclampsia. Even though the trial did not turn out as researchers had hoped it provided valuable information about this condition which affects 5-8 percent of pregnancies.

Pregnancy is a time of wonder, anticipation, joy and sometimes morning sickness. But for women who develop a condition called preeclampsia, pregnancy can be deadly. Researchers at Mayo Clinic are working to stop this condition from happening. They've developed a new test to determine which women are at risk. And that information may help save moms and babies.
