needing reassurance and nice words desperately Sad
been feeling a little off recently, swelling and light headed so went to the nurse at the GP to get blood pressure took.
blood pressure sky high, protein in urine and sent off the the hospital in an ambulance with blue lights
turns out I have pre eclampsia
obviously if things don't work to try and get it monitored baby will need to come early
I'm only 30 weeks SadSad
absolutely nothing wrong with baby, it's my stupid body betraying me
I hate hospitals, they make me so anxious, blue lighted in the ambulance was awful, so many needles stuck into me
I know babies come early all the time and they are fine, but this just wasn't the plan, I wanted her in there as long as possible Sad
making a real effort not to cry as what difference does it make!

Love this thread! I had preeclampsia with my first too and remember how scary the experience was, and that I didn't see my son for 6 hours after birth which was really tough. Really enjoyed all the updates. :-)
