Lauren Ferguson

Lauren Ferguson is a patient who developed HELLP Syndrome during her pregnancy.
==History==
Lauren came to the hospital with her daughter, Jayden, and husband, Miles, when he fell and hurt his wrist. While they waited for him to be seen, Lauren had some contractions and complained of indigestion. Simone took her to OB for an exam, where she learned she was 4.5 centimeters dilated. Since Miles was still being treated, they took Jayden to the hospital daycare so she could play while Lauren labored.
Later, Lauren developed a nosebleed and then started seizing. Jo rushed her into surgery, where Carina did an emergency c-section. Once the baby was out, Lauren started bleeding heavily due to uterine atony and DIC. Carina was able to stop that bleeding, but then Lauren hemorrhaged in her upper abdomen. Carina said it was likely due to a liver hematoma. Jo had attributed her pain to labor, but it was actually probable HELLP syndrome. When her uterus started bleeding again, Carina did a hysterectomy. Bailey then came and took over to work on the liver bleeding. She was able to stop the bleeding and Miles was told that Lauren was in the ICU.
