I am 7 months off of having severe postpartum preeclampsia. I was on labatelol for about 2 months afterward and then weaned off. However, in the last few months I’ve had some concerning heart rates and blood pressure so my doctor referred me to a cardiologist. At my first appointment with them, I had an abnormal EKG. This led to 6 more appointments including a stress test, an echocardiogram, and having to wear a holster monitor for a week. It was extremely stressful and scary. Thankfully, just today I was notified by the doctor that my tests came back completely normal and I am healthy. I feel like I can finally close this difficult chapter of my life and move on. There have been many times over the last few months when I felt that I was never going to recover physically or mentally from the toll of preeclampsia, but I feel so much better now. Although I am nervous about future pregnancies and preeclampsia, I feel hopeful that I’ll be more equipped to handle it and I’ll be able to trust that my body will recover. Just wanted to share a positive story because I know how dark it can feel in the center of it.

My baby had a skin reaction after eating avocado, eggs and a tiny bit of tomato this morning. She’s already had each of those foods multiple times with no reaction. The reaction was a splotchy red rash on her neck and stomach, a bit on her arms with what looked like hives as well. We’ve already been to the doctor and they are referring us to an allergist, and assuming it’s the eggs. I’m holding out hope that it was just a sensitivity to the acidity of the tomato. Any similar experiences?
