Jake

At 20 weeks I started to get sick. Having bad reflux with my first pregnancy I didn't think anything of it.

at 24 weeks after 3 trips to the hospital I was finally admitted with upper right quadrant pain. The next day I was rushed to a large city hospital with suspected hellp. I stabilised but after an ultrasound found Jake was IUGR. I was ablout to be realised to come back in 3 weeks when my platelets crashed to 48,000. I was taken in to an emergency c-section at 24+6 weeks where my son was born at 520 grams. I had kidney failure and on magnesium and was monitored but recover and released after 5 days. Jake remained in NICU until he passed away 11 weeks later
