In the next episodes, I'm going to have friends sharing their birth stories while experiencing HELLP syndrome during their pregnancies. In this episode, I give an overview of HELLP syndrome and other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. This episode will help moms gain an understanding of what to expect if they are diagnosed with high blood pressure during pregnancy. It is also a great overview for nursing students and new nurses. To gain even more insight, go back and listen to Mike Goldstein’s episode explaining the Hematologic Changes of Pregnancy (air date Nov. 25, 2022)

Medical Disclaimer:
This podcast is intended as a safe space for women to share their birth experiences. It is not intended to provide medical advice. Each woman’s medical course of action is individual and may not appropriately transfer to another similar situation. Please speak to your medical provider before making any medical decisions. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that evidence based practice evolves as our knowledge of science improves. To the best of my ability I will attempt to present the most current ACOG and AWHONN recommendations at the time the podcast is recorded, but that may not necessarily reflect the best practices at the time the podcast is heard. Additionally, guests sharing their stories have the right to autonomy in their medical decisions, and may share their choice to go against current practice recommendations. I intend to hold space for people to share their decisions. I will attempt to share the current recommendations so that my audience is informed, but it is up to each individual to choose what is best for them.
