[BrightnessFalls]

well, I will do for the next six weeks

the tv guide says a baby goes missing from it's pram. Does anyone knwo the outcome?

Eclampsia

This storyline is a little close to the knuckle for me.....My Jack was born at 26 weeks and he only survived two hours..... Then I had PE with Wilf and he was born two weeks early and was just over 5lb.

But what does that do to you? Why can't they save her?

Lots of women still die from pre eclampsia .
I had it.
Its a disease , it causes organ failure .

It's all too sad

Can't believe it's on before 9 actually - especially with all the births being shown.
But the sad bits are worse.

sorry lottie

Wonderstuff, your liver and kidneys stop working.

And eclampsia, not pre-eclampsia once you're fitting.

*its eclapmsia

Oh no.

It's caused by a defect of the placenta , and excretes waste products in the blood.

She had symptoms of pre eclampsia but didn't wait to get them checked out so she became pre eclamptic .

Pre eclampsia is the reason why women should take a urine sample every time they see the midwife or go to clinic.

Is it the gobby woman from the clinic.

Oh now they are blaming her.

I reckon it's the girl with the pigtails.

She became eclamptic sorry. Not pre eclamptic .

You may have a point MissMogwi

Is it Mary???

did that sound like Mary to you?

The girl whos baby was adopted?

Yes! and thats what happened wasnt it? she was sent to prison for taking a baby?

I thought it was too :(

Yes she was . She was mentally ill in the end wasn't she .

There is no medical intervention at all (it seems). Makes you realise how far we have come in a few years.

Yes from what others have said about the books [I havent read them]

Oh this is so sad.
