-- I also have a friend who complained to her ob that she was having pain. OB said baby was laying on sciatic nerve. She woke up in her 34/35 week with black eyes. they did a c-section, she went into cardiac arrest and was flown to another hospital where they did a liver transplant while she was in a coma. she was breathing on her own but is now having kidney failure and is on a respirator. why didn't the doctor catch this sooner? she is dying as i write this and it is very heartbreaking. I'm scared too, because I am 11 weeks pregnant and diabetes runs in my family. does fatty liver have to do with gestational diabetes? help!
