HI! I Had Postpartum Eclampsia 3 Years Ago. They Gave

HI! I had postpartum eclampsia 3 years ago. They gave me magnesium sulfate IV drip after delivery. I felt warm all over my body,headache, weakness, difficulty in breathing, and i remember, i am confused and I dreamt very deep like i am having nightmares. I don’t what’s that, it’s like hallucination or what. (Not sure). Then the old nurse came to visit me in my room, she stops the drip. But before that, I’m always complaining to them that i dont feel good. But they just keep on telling me that it’s normal effects of magnesium sulfate. During that time I’m breastfeeding with my baby. Now my baby is 3 years old. She having a delayed in development in mental and social skills. She’s not talking yet. My questions are, “Is it the side effects of magnesium sulfate? The developmental delayed of my baby , is it correlated to my postpartum eclampsia? “ please give me some of your thoughts. Appreciated! Thank you!
