Pre-eclampsia, did you get it again?

Forums New posts
Hi ladies. I had a membrane sweep today, in which my OB went extra rough to really try and get things going. Not going to lie - it hurt like crazy! I was already 2cm dilated and 80% effaced, so I'm hoping it works.
 
Fantastic news ladies any day now Torres :happydance:

Mizz pod glad your all prepared here's hoping for a minimum of 34 weeks!

Not got a clue what to nibble on I'm a night time snacker had bran flakes and low GI toast with half a banana for dinner for tomo GTT, nibbling on sunflower and pumpkin seeds in bed the now clueless on what they class as 'high sugar' I'm already missing my morning cuppa for tomo how am I gonna survive til lunch :dohh:

Seems a lot of Pre-e ladies also have GD although midwife says they're unrelated are we just that unlucky?? X
 
Lol bumpsmum I have no clue! Lol pre e and GD seem to really come together for us!

For late night snacking or with any meal always eat a protein with your carbs. It helps stabilize your sugar levels. If its the three hr rember to fast at midnight! :) I hope everything goes well tho let us know!
 
8 hours post sweep and nothing. Don't think it's going to do anything. :(
Anyone here have any experiences with a sweep?
 
Yes Torres! Mine were swept a few days before my planned induction and my water broke on my induction date lol so it worked for me :) the doc did it early because he said it could take a few days and he was right because it broke and I didn't have to get induced!
 
Hello ladies. Back again with a question. I was in hospital last week due to high bp. I had to stay a few days and they gave me 2 steroid injections. In now on 3x 200mg Labetalol and have to go in twice a week to have bp checked. This is all new to me and I'm wondering if it is likely ill still go to full term??
Thanks!! X
 
Pebbie our daughters are around the same age, our due date is the same, and we r both team yellow! I just noticed. Lol
Okay sorry back to your question.... As long as you bp stays in a safe range you can make it full term. I think they have you the shots as a precaution just incase the meds don't stabilize your bp. They want your baby to be as ready as possible if you deliver within two weeks. It must be scary sweetie and I pray you make it at least 34 weeks :hugs: remember to try and stay calm to help keep that bp down. Easier said than done I know ;)
 
Hahahahaha that's so funny!! Hope all is going well with your pregnancy :)
I am pretty worried and I would love to get to at least 34 weeks so that's my goal! I have been having a headache every day for the last week but I checked my bp and it was fine. I'll see what they say tomorrow when I have my checks again. When I had pe with my daughter it only started at 38 weeks and I was induced straight away so this is all new to me. Thanks for the reply :hugs:
 
You know what gets me is that when I take my bp at home they are always normal but when I go into the office, they r a little elevated! And I try to tell the nurse that its because I have to walk so much and then they take my bp as soon as I sit down lol I've been in strict bedrest since 20 weeks so its not as if my body is used to walking long distances without my levels going up a bit. Uh!
 
my BP is the very last thing to rise in both pregnancies, at least if it was one of the first clues I'd get the labetalol and hopefully go longer. GTT went well apart for using the SAME vein all 3 bloods grr unless they're bad will get results on tue at my consultant appt.

Torres hope that baby is starting to make its grand entrance xx
 
I developed Pre-e at 35 weeks, but showed signs at 26 weeks
I was induced at 40+1 and had him at 40+2
Never had HELLP
So far second pregnancy at 30 weeks and nothing for pre-e fingers crossed it stays away
 
Torres how r you?? Baby here yet? :)

Bumpsmum I hope your results are normal! One less thing to not worry about:)

Dizzy fingers and toes crossed pre e stays away!!! We r all so close to seeing our precious babies :) I can't wait!
 
I here by serve eviction papers on baby Torres! get outta there baby :haha:
 
ooo things are getting exciting lol I Cant wait to see baby announcements from you guys.. although not before they are supposed to!

How are you all doing? xxx
 
how is everyone coming along, AFM im just waiting for LO to arrive in the next 1.5 weeks YEAHHHH!!!!!
 
all good here nothing to report, no results from GTT yet just home from a nice walk with kids and hubby my oldest Matthew (4) decided instead of taking his balance bike down the ramp went via the stairs and ended in tears as you'd imagine. Big grazed chin luckily nothing more serious. Was crying only coz his dad gave him into trouble, neither up nor down about the mess of his wee face! x
 
ahhh poor little guy, well im about to take Michael out to do some shopping, wish me luck he has so much energy.
