Pre-eclampsia, did you get it again?

[MizzPodd]

Deb I'm so happy you and baby girl are okay! That mustve been scary tho and common sense should have told them to check you for it! I hope your recovery is going good

Sethsmummy omg!! Your baby can come any day now and you r only only 2 days from full term!!!!! I pray your levels don't get worse tho... Are you wanting to deliver sooner than later tho?

 

[debzie]

Thanks ladies bp is still misbehaving. I'm recovering well though.

 

[nov_mum]

Congrats on your wee one debzie. I am sorry to hear that the pe showed up again and that it got super bad, thank goodness you are on the mend. Sethsmummy, Yay you are in a food place for baby to be born but it sucks that the people is showing changes. I think it's just a matter of time til our bodies are unable to compensate for the underlying pe and symptoms start to show. It's just much better when that happens as close to term as possible. I will keep checking in to see how you get on

 

[bumpsmum]

Awwww Sethsmummy SO close hopefully things stay manageable til I get to term looking forward to hearing good news I have midwife today don't know why I'm nervous tho lol xx

 

[sethsmummy]

[MizzPodd]

[Agiboma]

@deb with my son my bp took over 6 weeks to come back down to normal after i had him
@mizzpod congrats on 27 weeks
As for me been checking bp its low thank goodness and proteins seem to be ok will check again today at my weekly checkup. Hope everyone else is doing fine.

 

[debzie]

Mine was fine a few weeks after I had my first but it looks like it may A&E soe time with this one.

 

[bumpsmum]

oh I hope I get the same midwife I had today she was less than impressed with my 'plan' and that yet to be seen by my named consultant she phoned up and re scheduled my appt with him for 4 weeks instead of 6 and wants me back in 2 weeks for BP and urine checks so I LOVE HER!

BP was initially high at 145/95 but came down to 130/82 which for me is a touch raised but nothing concerning as yet, mentioned itching she checked my last results and said my results were fine but may be 'an overspill' from my liver an will check it again, feeling a bit more at ease that at least one midwife is being over cautious!! x

 

[sethsmummy]

Woot for 27 weeks MissPodd You are so making it

agiboma - glad your bp and protein is good hun!

debzie what does a&e mean?? Im thinking accident and emergency

bumpsmum - woot i like the sound of your midwife!! Im glad someone is being cautious and kicking some ass Glad your bp came down a bit!

xxxx

 

[MizzPodd]

Agiboma I hope your bp keeps good! Your attitude seems very relaxed and that's wonderful! it always helps with the bp.

Deb hopefully you will recover sooner than later

Bumpsmum I am thrilled that you r getting the proper care you deserve! That's how I felt when I first started seeing my current doc. It's nice to know how thorough they are when it comes to our pregnancies I hope you keep her too! Maybe you could specifically ask for her each time you go there

Hi sethsmummy how r you doing lady?

 

[sethsmummy]

im ok thanks hun how are you? Had a bit of a head ache today but i think its because of the sun.. and my hips are killing. Also managed to get myself into a foul mood after cleaning the living room and kitchen.
I bought a bath changer unit from someone today.. got it all built and it sways from side to side i dunno how to sort it but if it wont get a little more stable the lady can come pick it back up and give me my money back. I refuse to use something unstable for my baby xx

 

[MizzPodd]

Been having headaches the last few days and Tylenol hasn't really been helping either

You better get your money back if its not stable enough!! Lol wow, she coulda warned you before you bought it. I hope your headaches go away soon take it easy mama

 

[Misstrouble19]

hey im not pregnant but thought i would comment i had mild pre-eclampsia at 36 weeks pregnant and was on lebatnol blood pressure tablets! and was induced at 38 weeks but it failed so ended up having my baby boy by c-section at 38+3, i hope i dont get it again!

 

[nov_mum]

Sorry for my last post. It makes no sense. Dumb predictive text

 

[MizzPodd]

AFM-Oh goodness. So I went to after hour dentist for tooth pain from a root canal I had done in 2008. It's been hurting over a week with pressure headaches and I never put two and two together. Well apparently it is a re infection and I will need one of two surgeries to fix it. I have to go to specialist tomorrow because the dentist wants me to get seen ASAP becuz it may require drastic surgery. He said it could detrimental to me and baby if left untreated so I am going to see what happens. Either the condition is stable enough where I can wait until after I deliver, or a little bit further like the mid 30 weeks, or asap. I hope an pray its something that can wait until baby is further just in case it requires me to deliver first. Doc have me some numbing medicine to get me trough the night and gave me penicillin to hopefully temporary stop the infection. But he said its not the solution and that I new to be seen by specialist ASAP. so much and more and things just keep piling up. I am becoming numb to all the bad news that I keep getting. I refuse to get defeated this far in, me and my baby will be okay no matter what and I will keep my attitude positive regardless of what happens. Honestly after losing a child, everything else seems like a piece I cake. I got through that (well am getting through it) so I know IC an get through this added on set back!!
Wooh! Feel better getting all of that out!!

 

[Agiboma]

hope the tooth pain sorts itself out soon without surgery hopefully.

 

[sethsmummy]

hey ladies

awwies mizzpodd i hope the antibiotics help kill this infection you have!! Fingers crossed it helps then the rest can wait until after baby arrives you'v got this far it would be gutting if a tooth ruined it.

my bloods from monday came back within normal range. At midwife today for more bloods/bp and urine check. xxxx

Hi I felt fine and had no symptoms, I had tests and a scan the day before because my tummy seemed small at 38 weeks and like it hadnt grown in the last month (my midwife was away and the stand in didnt notice) The next day I get a phone call saying to get to the hospital as soon as possible and that baby is coming in the next few hours by ceaser. Oh the drama lol! I felt fine and had no idea what was going on. Apparently we were both extremely sick and I had none of the normal symptoms accept protein. Baby was out in a few hours and I was all good, She was a tiny 5lb 6oz at 38 weeks. I am on asprin this time from 12 weeks and I think they were talking about new studies about calcium and magnesium so off to see the ob next week to discuss. I have to have scans often and urine tests ofetn to check growth and protein but docs seem very on to it so I am being well looked after incase it happens again. New Zealand midwifery services are amazing. We are treated so well and its all free! lucky us!

 

[Jakkiw2]

Oh dear ladies, where to start

I got admitted yesterday for high Bp, protein, swelling and headache

I'm still here ... My notes say that if my bp remains high then its an induction of labour for me...

Will try and keep u posted x
