Baby Loss, Grief & Love
S7, E1 - Multiple Loss, Pre-eclampsia & HELLP Syndrome Awareness
On this weeks episode Kelly welcomes Roxanne to the Podcast.
Roxanne joins Kelly all the way from Bristol and shares that Baby Loss, Grief & Love has given her a lot of comfort so she wanted to come on and share her story in the hope to help others.
As well as loosing both her son Jacob at 24 weeks and her daughter Thea at 28 weeks, Roxanne opens up about the near loss of her life due to HELLP syndrome. It is important to Roxanne for her to spread awareness about Pre-eclampsia, HELLP syndrome, the affects they cause and what to look out for.
Kelly and Roxanne discuss the loss of her babies and her live changing trauma. Like many, Roxanne's trauma changed her life's perspective which led Roxanne to change her career. She has gone from a corporate world to working for a suicide charity helping bereaved families.
What is Pre-eclampsia: Pre-eclampsia is a condition that causes high blood pressure during pregnancy and after labour. It can be serious if not treated.
What is HELLP syndrome: Linked to Pre-eclampsia HELLP syndrome is a rare liver and blood clotting disorder that can affect pregnant women.
It's most likely to occur immediately after the baby is delivered, but can appear any time after 20 weeks of pregnancy, and in rare cases before 20 weeks.
