HELLP syndrome: termination of pregnancy or C-section?

tasha HELLP · 2016-02-24 09:14:28 UTC

Hello, I'm 7 months pregnant and just came home from my OB/GYN office. I just got the news that I've developed asymptomatic preeclampsia, which started naturally once I got pregnant. I was experiencing severe headache during past few weeks, and he said this is one of the most common symptoms of preeclampsia. I also gained too many lbs while pregnant and my blood pressure reached 150 over 90 or higher... Moreover, he said I may have developed the HELLP syndrome after many lab tests. Doctor said the only treatment for the HELLP syndrome is proceeding with the termination of pregnancy, but I'm terrified... do you think I'll end up losing my baby? He's now 7 months, it's almost there... I'd rather die :( I've read something about performing a C-section, would it be right for me or what are the requirements? Please, help me.
