Pre eclampsia survivors?

Hello everyone, I'm 21, from Queensland 
in 2011 I lost 30kg and reached a great weight of 54kg after being overweight my whole life. In July 2012 I had my first baby. I was unlucky enough to suffer from pre eclampsia and due to that I gained 41kg. I have lost 32.5kg of that in the 5 and a half months since. I'm looking to be-friend other PE survivors and mothers with young children. I still occasionally suffer from high BP so any young people with BP issues would be great to hear from as well I hope you are all well.

Hello there, I suffered from pre eclampsia during my first pregnancy nine years ago, sorry not a young mother : ). I don't think I had a very severe case but I was induced and ended up having an episiotomy and forceps : / As for the weight gain, I balooned to 103kg during my pregnancy as you can imagine it totally ruined my body and I have a lot of stretch marks which I probably wouldn't have gotten if not for the pre eclampsia. Your welcome to add me.0
