POstpartum Preeclampsia/Eclampsia

[lovelymaeve]

Hello sisses, alam ko may thread na dito about Preeclampsia/Eclampsia but gusto ko lang maging specific about Postparum Preeclampsia/Eclampsia. Bihira kasi mga nabasa ko about this. And yan kasi ang naranasan ko after I gave birth. and 5 months na ngayon but I'm still on bp meds. Does anyone out there who experienced this? Are you still drinking your meds? Kelan kayo gumaling or nag normal ang bp? [textspeak!] ano pa mga iba nyong naranasan kasabay ng pagtaas ng bp nyo..like anxiety, depression..mga ganun..at paano kau nakalampas. Thanks everyone.

Sis, you mean nag continue [textspeak!] hypertension mo?

There is something as post eclampsia if you have hypertension + protein in urine but this should not continue for 5 months. Meanwhile, meron talaga na hypertension which nag dedevelop or continue after giving birth but negative protein in urine.

This usually goes away with meds pus lifestyle change na talaga. So onting tiis lang mommy.

^wala na trace ng protein sa urine ko..nag normalize na din bp ko. pero sabi ng cardio i should continue my meds pa din daw. 5 months postpartum na ko.  Naghahanap nga ako sis ng ob/internist na makakapag explain what postpartum preeclampsia is. Kasi ok naman ako talaga hanggang after ko manganak tapos after ilang araw na ko na nasa bahay nag iba na pakiramdam ko then tumaas na pala bp ko. Sabi ni ob POstpartum preeclamsia daw but "trace" lang naman daw [textspeak!] protein sa urine ko and ok naman platelet ko. All i really want to know is bakit kinakailangan na i-continue ang bp meds kahit ok na ang bp.

Sis just making sure lang siguro si doc. Kung wala na protein in your urine, negative for post eclampsia ka na. Baka gusto lang ni doc iregulate yung BP mo para di mag tuloy to hypertension.

Ako sis nag shoot up BP ko, 140/90 @ 36 weeks. Tas nag stabilize at 130/80. Nag urinalysis din and negative for protein. Nag meds na kami for maintenance. So far now normal BP ko and tuloy pa rin meds until my next check up and maybe until my scheduled CS next week.

About pre/post eclampsia, I think this can happen to anyone. Even the fittest pregnant pwede magkaroon ng ganito. Of course, may mga preggies na mataas ang risk factor to eclampsia.
