She had protein in her urine, and her blood pressure shot up to 200/110. The doctors told us that the high blood pressure had kind of choked off the placenta, and the baby did not receive sufficient nutrients to sustain him. We asked what caused this condition and they said they did not know. I've had three daughters after our son, and they all made it, although, she had pre-eclampsia with all of them. Just not as severe.
My question is, if there is anyone out there who has a thought on the matter, are there cases where a man and woman are not biologically compatable? I heard someone say once that they thought this possibly may be a cause of pre-eclampsia. I am o-positive. She is ab-negative. I was just wondering if we were biologically, incompatable. Thanks.
i am truly sorry, elmud.
i had pre-eclampsia, also known as toxemia, when my son was born. he survived, and i am told i was in more danger than he was at the time, but he does have anomalies that may or may not have been a result of the situation, no one knows. this was 30 years ago, and at the time no one knew what caused pre-eclampsia. i never heard of the theory you mention, though.
i never heard of anyone having had it happen so many times, either. i would guess it is due to something regarding your wife's condition, if not her blood type maybe something else, but not what you are guessing.
i think in cases where the man and woman are not biologically compatible, no pregnancy would result at all. but even that i have not heard of.
would you like me to do some research on the internet and see what i can find out? maybe they have narrowed down some causes in the last 30 years that i dont know about...
