I am in love with my puppies and few know how difficult it was to get pregnant and even go through pregnancy problems, as it was in the case of the last pregnancy that I had serious risks of pre eclampsia. Well, shall we start from the beginning? I’ve always heard of pre eclampsia. I even had a great friend with this problem when I was still waiting for Dudu and when I received the diagnosis I was very scared. Well, when I received the news of the pregnancy I was very happy, after all I love being a mother and all I wanted in the world was to feel all those sensations again.
The positive came 4 years and 8 months after the last delivery and was much celebrated. Another baby in the family and this time I was more mature and more secure from everything that could happen. At 4 months of pregnancy, a very high number appeared in my life, 18 x 11. That was the result after checking my pressure in the prenatal office. That day, my doctor and I were scared after all, I didn’t feel anything! He has already come out of the office with a prescription for methyldopa in one hand and a block of tests in the other to do and written in the requests the suspicion of DHEG hypertensive disease specific to pregnancy.
See in this video the report of the positive to the birth of Melissa.
Although I knew for sure what it was, I didn’t believe in the possibility and it was really over. Days after I started taking the medicine, my exams were ready and the worst thing was that the urine protein was really out of the ordinary for a pregnant woman. She was discharged, but in spite of everything the other tests were normal. At 28 weeks of gestation, a fissure was found in the artery of the left vein and this time I had to be removed from all activities with confirmation of the suspicion of DHEG that could lead to pre-eclampsia itself. We were all scared and took as much care as possible, made no effort and took the medication at the right time. Due to the possibility of pre-eclampsia, delivery could be brought forward to 37 weeks but finally at 36 weeks with pressure stabilized for taking the maximum dosage of methyldopa, the possibility of pre-eclampsia was moving away and that is why we managed to maintain the pregnancy until 40 weeks and we were relieved to know that everything had gone well.
So finally, on July 22, 2011, I felt for the third time the greatest love in the world. Despite all the ghosts and scares that this pregnancy brought me, I would do it all again. The pre-eclâmpsi to is not a problem whatsoever and requires special attention from your doctor. Taking care of the pressure is essential, reduce the salt and drink a lot of fluids and most importantly, do the prenatal care well and take the medication strictly, this can make preeclampsia just a remote possibility as it was in my case.

My name is Dr. Alexis Hart I am 38 years old, I am the mother of 3 beautiful children! Different ages, different phases 16 years, 12 years and 7 years. In love with motherhood since always, I found it difficult to make my dreams come true, and also some more after I was already a mother.
Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
