I had pre-eclampsia in my first pregnancy and then had a spntaneous but fast (3 hours to full dilation) labour. (Ended up in emergency c/s btw)
A midwife told me today that the fast labour was probably due to the pre-eclampsia. She said that the body is stressed when pre-eclamptic and when stressed it labours fast in order to try to 'expel' the baby as fast as possible.
Has anyone heard this before? Had this?
