I had it the first time, midwife pointed it out at around 28 weeks but the hospital told me I didn't have it. Never saw that midwife ever again (never saw the same one twice) and then at 38 weeks I was induced due to going in to A&E with liver pain and violent sickness. Difficult delivery due to the complications but all good in the end. I had high BP, protein in my wee almost every week and my legs were twice the size but no one else ever seemed bothered.
Am now pregnant with second - 8 weeks - and am terrified it will happen again. I've had plenty of reassurances from my GP that is usually a first pregnancy problem and online it reads that its about 16% chance. She has referred me to a specialist team but I guess because of the mismanagement last time, I am on tenterhooks.
Anyone got any good news stories?
