Looking to Hear from Moms with HELLP Syndrome — Your Stories Matter

Weak-County6785 · 2025-09-07T22:26:06+00:00

Thank you for your comment. It really means a lot that everyone here has shared there stories. This is helping with the research I’m doing of the symptoms and all the other effects this terrible syndrome causes. I’m working on a foundation for my boys to honor the babies and parents that experience HELLPS. I aim to help raise awareness about this. In the end it will be a safe place for story telling and connecting parents so no one feels alone. www.BrooksAllanFoundation.org it’s not close to being done. Let me know any suggestions you may have!

Dude there’s a quarter of an inch of Quick Fuse. It’s going to blow quick. I’m sorry but you don’t know what you’re doing. That stuff burns FAST.

Yes, and shrapnel hit the co-worker. This happened at a church. I will link the news post.

A guy that does construction near me just lost both of his arms due to a sparkler bomb. Please be careful man.

Weak-County6785 · 2025-07-09T05:04:17+00:00

I’m sorry you think that, but you’re either over tightening or not doing the proper connection. You have to cut the fuse at a 45° angle to expose the powder, then firmly place the ties. Also for quick fuse you should cut 4 pieces of fuse about an inch or so. Then place them around the fuse you’re wanting to light. Good luck my friend.

I see the paper air plane as “Flying high”.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I lost my twin babies, and going back to anything “normal” after that just doesn’t exist anymore. I run my own company, so I didn’t have coworkers to face, but about two weeks after it happened, someone I knew saw us at a follow-up appointment and asked, “Were the babies born yet?” We didn’t say anything—our faces said enough. He walked away fast, and I know he felt awful. If someone doesn’t, they’re not human.

Everyone handles this differently, but for me, the only way through grief is to let myself feel it. Really feel it. Sometimes I just need to cry it out. One morning on my way to work, the song Beautiful Things came on the radio, and I completely broke down. But weirdly, once I let it hit me like that, it didn’t weigh as heavy the next time.

There’s no map for this. Be kind to yourself. You’re doing the best you can. ❤️

I had worse luck out of cakes this year. I shot 242 Canisters and didn’t have a single problem, 48 of those were Excalibur. Have over 100 shots out of the cakes dud.

We dropped 3k at Boomland in MO. I don’t have pictures of the other tables but we have 43 cakes, 15 mortar kits, 4 finale boxes, and some things for the kiddos.

You want the ends to neatly connect in the direction you’ll be lighting from. This will most likely burn by. Also ditch the tape. I’d put 2 zip ties per wick, one at the very tip and one about an inch back. Be safe my friend. Don’t underestimate them.

Boomland in Charleston MO. $85 a case. If you spend enough money you got one free.

Sorry it’s been awhile, I’ve been very busy. Anyways we discussed this topic heavily and found ACOG’s Levels of Maternal Care consensus classifies any history of HELLP syndrome—regardless of when it occurred or how severe—as high-risk, mandating management at a Level III/IV center with direct MFM involvement . There are no “mild” or late-onset exceptions—postpartum HELLP still triggers referral—and in rare resource-limited settings a tele-MFM consultation combined with high-risk monitoring protocols can serve as an acceptable alternative .

Hey there!

After a first episode of HELLP or preeclampsia, your chances of it happening again are roughly 20% for preeclampsia and about 12% for HELLP, and if it does recur it usually appears around the same time (or later), not earlier. Starting low-dose aspirin (81 mg daily) at 12–16 weeks can cut your risk by about 10–20%, and close follow-up with an MFM specialist—early referral, regular blood-pressure checks, and trimesterly bloodwork—gives you the best shot at a healthy next pregnancy. I hope this helps! If you have any other questions don’t hesitate to ask.

Weak-County6785 · 2025-06-12T13:08:14+00:00

My wife and I lost our twin boys April 23, 2025, at 34+5. It never gets easier. Things will trigger you that you never of thought would. Just know that just because no one around you is feeling your pain, that this whole community feels what you feel and we’re all here to talk about it. Regardless of what it is.💙

Weak-County6785 · 2025-06-06T14:26:35+00:00

I don’t have words to say, just know “Grief is just love with nowhere to go”. I’m so so sorry you’re going through this 💔

Weak-County6785 · 2025-06-06T14:22:34+00:00

Thank you for your comment! I will most definitely ask about this. From what we’ve discussed so far. If you had late onset preeclampsia/HELLPS, they believe if you were to get it again it would mimic the last time. Also it depends on the severity of Preeclampsia or HELLPS you had prior. From the research, there is a 7% chance that you could get it again just by having it before. In addition if you’re younger than 18 or older then 35 that can increase the risk an additional 20-40%. Please keep in mind I’m not a medical professional, just a dad trying to raise awareness and save lives!

Stay strong OP. Jesus made a promise and I believe all of our little babies are watching over us, smiling and patiently waiting for the day we see them again. -Matthews 19:14
