[MizzPodd]

Bumpsmum congrats on getting a new house and big props to you for being able to handle that plus pregnancy

I failed so bad that I don't have to take the three hour one but this is what happened with dd1. They skipped the three hour one. I'm not surprised just disappointed as this is just another thing to pile on lol but I already have my carb diet going as of today. I have my old notebook with the different meals I ate with dd1. I pray they don't put me on insulin again. Hopefully since I know how to eat properly this time my sugars will stay under control. Well at least I know I will deliver in about 10 weeks now if I make it that far.

i got servere Pre E at 20 weeks ( early i no ) it took them a while to work out what was wrong with me but i was put on a extremely high dose of Labetalol and steriods from 24 weeks as i was having very bad fits from my BP being so high, unfortunatly my placenta abrupted due to being so servere so had to have an EMCS at 25+3 sadly my little boy didnt survive past 2 days old, its taken me 2 years to get the courage to be pregnant again and for all im so early iv already seen my midwife and see my consultants every week, i will be put on asprin from 10 weeks and they have told me i have a high chance of it returning so my aim is to get to 37 then i will have a section.

I will be keeping an eye on this thread to give me encouragement etc x

 

[sethsmummy]

aww Mizzpodd sorry you failed your GTT hun But at least you know what your doing so hopefully wont need to go on insulin my sister was on that for her last 3 pregnancies and she hated it. 10 weeks will fly by and im sending so many positive vibes that your at least going to make it another 5!

perfect pink I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your little boy. But Congratulations on your new pregnancy. Looking forward to share your journey hun i am also sending positive vibes to you xxxx

 

[Perfect_pink]

Thank You hun, I know im in such good hands this time, just terrifies me incase this one decides to come too early, but im trying to focus on getting to 37 weeks x

 

[sethsmummy]

At least they are taking good close care of you from the very start this time hun thats always a positive. I hope the next 30 or so weeks fly by for you hun! And i hope pre-e stays away long enough to at least let baby get to 30 weeks xxx

[bumpsmum]

congrats Jakki

soooooo happy for you Hun!

So much for things going smoothly for me.........on way to triage seen GP today to get a sick line for work asked him to check my BP as had headaches for about 3 days (mild tho) BP was fine but dipped my urine and I have between a trace and 1+ protein. This is the way it has started both times for me terrified its so early tho!

in both pregnancies I was symptomatic 3 weeks before delivery, got me 3 weeks earlier at 30 weeks last time so if I follow that pattern baby will be about 27+ weeks trying to stay optimistic that the UTI symptoms from last week are true or its a contaminated sample. Had to ship boys to grandparents as they said to be prepared to stay overnight oh the joys! x

 

[Agiboma]

@perfectpink i hope your pre e stays away i also got it @ 19 weeks with DS he was born @ 25+2 this pregnancy i had proteins in my urine @ 29 weeks but not enough for it to be severe and my bp has remained low.

 

[MizzPodd]

Bumps mum please stay optimistic! I hope it's just uti as well. I was freaked out about my bp being so high last night and then saying I would be transferred and blah blah blah. I think it's greatyour bp is staying stable and 27/28 is a big improvement as far as development for baby incase you did deliver. I'm so sorry you r going through this. Pregnancy sure is a rollercoaster sometimes!

 

[sethsmummy]

aww bumpsmum im so sorry your having to go in! I hope its just a UTI or something Either that or its just a small amount thats not going to lead to anything! I'v had trace/1+ most of the time through my pregnancy. I have my fingers crossed for you!!

afm, I had my LAST midwife appointment today! my bp was still down, trace protein but she wasnt worried about it. Fundal height was measuring bang on at 38 weeks which i was very impressed with since normally im measured 4 weeks ahead! The midwife was lovely too! Cant belive this time next week i will have my little man and iv avoided pre-e!

to you all xxxxx

 

[MizzPodd]

Sethsmummy yaaaay!!! I'm so happy for you!!! Woohoo you r literally right around the corner to delivering your little one!!!

 

[bumpsmum]

finally home and SODS LAW second sample was clear so guessing just contaminated? BP fine trace was fine and thoroughly examined bloods fine wasted evening but better safe than sorry if my headache doesn't shift to go back all being well i have midwife on tue as planned. thank you all for your kind words and your support x

Hi ladies. I'm the op, and I'm glad to see that this thread has taken off!
I am 37 weeks 1 day and am thankfully medically doing well. I have been monitored weekly for a few months now and besides the odd trace of protein in my urine, a slight increase in my bp, and some headaches, I have shown no indication of the onset of pre-e or HELLP.
Emotionally I am starting to have a hard time. I had a scare on Monday with a severe headache and some epigastric pain, so I went to OB triage and everything turned out okay (they did blood work). Being there and being scare brought back so many traumatic memories and anxieties. And tbh, it's almost the fear of it happening again is almost worse than when I actually went through it, as I am much more informed now and and well aware of the dangers.
I love my OB, and I know he's good (he specializes in high risk cases) and he is watching me like a hawk, but I can't help but think that if things do go wrong there is nothing he can really do.
My case is a little different from the "norm" as I started off with severe pre-e, was induced, things seemed to be okay for 36 hours post delivery and then everything went to shit. My Bp sky rocketed even higher than before delivery (got into the 200's over 130's) and I developed HELLP syndrome postpartum. Bp meds orally didn't help, and had to get many injections to try and bring it down immediately. I was finally released almost 2 weeks postpartum, and still had lingering effects for months.
I'm starting to get horrible anxiety about it happening again only with a worse outcome. We are such a happy family of three, why would I risk losing it all?! I know that sounds over dramatic, but I can't help but feel that way!
Are any of you also experiencing this horrid anxiety and worry? I find myself on the brink of panic attacks every night this past week.

 

[sethsmummy]

bumpsmum im glad it was a false scare hun! Thank goodness for that!

Torres I'm so glad things are going great for you hun! Although im so so sorry you are feeling so anxious! I cant say iv been overly worried lately.. i did have one point when my BP rose when i was terrified.. but apart from that im ok.. but my case was never as severe as yours. I am going to keep my fingers crossed for you that everything post partum goes smoothly this time for you! And hun you dont sound dramatic.. you have had a very very scary situation.. and know that it could happen again, but hopefully with the ob being so careful you will have a fantastic outcome! Especially since your showing no signs so far and you are almost at the finishing post!

 

[MizzPodd]

Hi Torres!!! We r all hanging in there and a big congrats to you for getting to full term mama!

Yay bumpsmum!! False alarms r always good

AFM- ffn was... Negative I probably didn't update what happened a few days ago but basically more contractions and possible dilation. But I wasn't dilating and baby is measuring two weeks ahead and is a little over 3 lbs! So incase it came back positive try were happy with baby's growth scan. Luckily I will be making it to at least 32 weeks based on the ffn results!!!! Yay!
Enjoy your day
