In this episode, Tamara is joined by Ashley who speaks about developing HELLP syndrome during the last trimester of her pregnancy and the PTSD affect it had on her thereafter including dealing with her second pregnancy.

What is HELLP? HELLP syndrome is a life-threatening condition that can potentially complicate pregnancy. It is named for 3 features of the condition: Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzyme levels, and Low Platelet levels. It typically occurs in the last 3 months of pregnancy (the third trimester) but can also start soon after delivery.
