hi everyone long story so my son who is now 5 was born at 31 weeks I showed no signs of eclampsia then had sudden eclampsia I took seizures and was unconscious for 2 days in the meantime my son was delivered by emergency section while I was unconscious he was then in the hospital for 8 weeks! he was born weighing 3lbs3. My daughter who is turning 4 was born also at 31 weeks she was 2lbs7 as placenta stopped working, I was in hospital most of the time as had pre eclampsia and my blood pressure was rising!! it gets more complicated I have been diagnosed with lupus since ( didn't know with first 2 pregnancys) and anti ro( anti ro is an antibody in the blood that can make babies be born with heart defects and increases the chance of miscarriage) I have found out I am 3-4 weeks pregnant and so scared as more than likely baby will be born at 31 weeks I don't know how I'm going to cope with 5year old 4 year old and new born that will need to stay in hospital for weeks... I feel so happy and excited but so scared at same time!! any advice would be appreciated xx
