My friend is in hospital with pre-eclampsia at 31 weeks, they're moving her to somewhere with a premature baby unit as it looks like she'll have to deliver early. There might be some problems with the baby growing properly.
Someone has told her that baby's chances are 50/50? Does that sound right? I thought 30+ weekers tended to do ok nowadays.
Also, I don't know if we'll be able to visit her whilst she's in, but what sort of things would you appreciate a friend could bring you if you went through something similar? I was thinking nice posh shower gel/hand cream, trashy mags, favourite snacky junk food? Anything more practical? Thinking hopefully she won't have to deliver just yet and she'll be in being monitored for a while longer.
It's all so worrying and I'm quite removed from the situation really, cant imagine how she's feeling at the moment.
