Dear LaurieAnne, I'm the one who wrote in about having a small, very distressed baby six weeks after getting bells. The first thing I want to assure you is that my case was not typical.
Most pregnant women have no problems in their pregnancies or deliveries.
She was delivered in the nick of time by an emergency c-section, but then I almost died of something called disseminated intervascular coagulation. Got to live in the ICU on a respirator and feeding tube. Obviously, there's a lot the doctors don't know about my case. But in retrospect, I think nutrition and rest are essential. My ob and my neurologist downplayed my bell's, but later I did a computer search at the National Library of Medicine and I found a link with high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia.
