  • I have a sister who had it she had her boy at 24 weeks unfortunately he only lived 3 weeks
  • I think I heard if you eat right and exercise it will help avoid it
  • I had it with my daughter. She was born at normal 38 weeks. Its not something you can prevent it just happens. Toxemia is another name for preeclampsia.
  • Crazyness...yeah their baby is in NICU right now, I saw a couple of pics of the baby, and the poor thing was skin and bones.
  • @Beautiful_Altar, did you have to get induced?
  • @ahuyser I wasn't induced. She came 2 weeks early on her own. They tried to give me pitocen to speed up my labor but i refused. They broke my water and she came really quick.
  • Wow!! Thats amazing!!!
  • I had pre-elcampsia (toxemia) with both of my previous pregnancies. Unfortunatly, it can not be prevented. The only thing the dr. can do is monitor your blood pressure and watch for protein in your urine. I had both c-sections @ around 37-38 weeks and delivered healthy babies!! Hoping not to get it this time, but my blood pressure is already starting to creep up [-O<
  • Wow, ill be praying for you!!
