No, I mean the part where I have seizures and maybe I have premature labor
and live (and quite probably the kid doesn't) and maybe we both die.

The nurse in the ambulance was terrified that I would go into seizures
at any minute, because of the blood pressure they had. Heh.

If it didn't cause seizures and unconsciousness, it wasn't eclampsia. Quite.
My medical records show "Severe PIH." (Pregnancy Induced Hypertension.)
