DF admitted to hospital - raised BP; high protein; swollen legs

[sockonwilly]

It's pre-eclampsia isnt it... They are keeping her in but no one seems to have mentioned PE?! They have scanned her legs for clots but nothing.

She'll be 37 weeks this week.

Honestly, just ask if it's pre-eclampsia. I had it, was being scanned and had a consultant appointment every other week and no one mentioned it to me either until I actually asked the consultant.

If she's 37 weeks then she might well be induced if her symptoms are bad. Make sure the house is ready for the baby and she has everything she needs for hospital.

Good luck :)

Yup it's PE.

Been told she'll be having her baby very soon! Eek!

Ooo, better make sure everything's ready then! Very soon as in the next hour or very soon as in induction tomorrow morning?

As in, inducing NOW!!!!!

Excellent. Are you meant to be on MN?

DF as in Dear Friend not Dear Fiance in case that is what you are thought!!! :)

I am at home, not at the hosp!

Ah ok, I was thinking of my DH on his Blackberry (and no doubt his iPad this time round) while I was in labour

Well, I hope she and the baby are alright and you get to meet them soon :)

Love the username op! :)
