Pre Eclampsia

[Charlottesmum2018]

So am boarder line for pre eclampsia I have high blood pressure that is currently under control with labetalol, I have 2++ protein in my urine and swelling to my hands, feet and ankles. I am being monitored twice weekly by my day assessment unit and a week today I will meet with a consultant I am currently 35 weeks 2 days. Has anybody been in a similar situation? what are the chances of them inducing me early? I haven't had a wink of sleep since all this started nearly a week ago and I am stressing out over it and I know that wont be doing me any good but I just can't help it.

I had pre enclampsia and was induced/emc at 36+6 however although my bp was high and being monitored, I wasn't diagnosed til the day my child was born.

It was when my face swelled and kidneys started struggling that they acted but I was quite oblivious to how bad it was!

I know its easier said than done but try to keep calm. Its a scary time but they will be watching you very closely and although my baby was born early she only needed treatment for a little jaundice but apart from that she was fine. They will induce as close to 37w as they can as you're technically "full term" then.

I also felt better pretty fast after she was born (though my ankles took weeks to go back to normal and was on meds for a while to get my bp back to normal)

All that was without the treatment that you've been receiving and without meds so got off quite lucky!
