Has anyone had HELLP syndrome? What were your symptoms !

Question

I’ve been having right sided rib and back pain for like 4 days . And my BP is elevated . Not super bad like 130s/70s but this pain has me worried .

Answer

My HELLP syndrome and preeclampsia came on suddenly one evening (I hadnt had any of the warning signs my entire pregnancy ie:BP normal, no swelling, no protein in urine). First symptom was a pressure/pain just in between and under my breasts - almost felt like I'd eaten WAY too much. I thought it was indigestion and my uterus pushing up at first; then thought better of it when it didnt go away after I'd drank a tall glass of cold water and laid on my left side. We ended up heading to the ER.
It is ALWAYS best to touch base with your doctor/midwife/etc - get checked out - for peace of mind if nothing else. 👍❤
