Pre-eclampsia, did you get it again?

[sethsmummy]

No they wouldn't tell me the first day but a nice nurse made them come tell me the second day.

He has a fluid filled cyst in the lower end of the uretar (takes urine from kidney to bladder) so urine can't easily pass through. This has lead the the uretar on the right dilating so it's bigger than it should be. He also has two uretars on the right when there should only be one. He has a severe uti and also a bad kidney infection. He is going to need surgery to sort it all out. Yorkhill children's hospital should be phoning tomorrow to tell us what they want to do and when xx

The only time I felt funny was when my BP was around the 190/105+ range - I had lots of times where my BP was in that range and I felt 100% normal (as normal as you can feel after just having a baby).

I never got the really bad swelling or any visual disturbances either.

I was always told anytime I felt off or funny just to go in and get doubled checked. They were very supportive with that and it was more of an order than an offer. (This was while I was pregnant before it turned into PE)

Hi ladies - may I join you? 28 weeks with my second. With my first I started to develop blood pressure issues around this point. Didn't get to the pre-e stage until a few days before my c-section (scheduled for other complications to do with my back)- then got really bad post partum. Im hoping to avoid it this time- so far BP is looking good so fingers crossed it stays that way.

Hi all..

So we recently got our bfp for #3 (first pregnancy was twins). I have been so excited and then today i have come off my 'high' and am terried..
I had hyperemesis gravidarum with my twins.. im terried ill get that again.. i also had pre eclampsia which resulted in the twins being born by cesarean at 36+6. They were perfectly fine and great weights. I however had sever problems with my kidneys and liver and it took 4 months for my blood pressure to come back down.
I then suffered severe post natal depression and health anxiety from all i had been through..

So im sat here panicking that i will get pre eclampsia again.. and this time it could be worse.. my worst fear is that something happens to me and my twins are left without a mummy

I expressed my concern to my dr today and he basicaly said that all my complications were likely caused by the fact i was carrying multiples, and if this time its a singleton there will be much less risk (ultrasound in 3 weeks).. and while the logical part me understands what he was saying, i cant help but be terrified..

Is this fear normal? Please share your stories

13 weeks. My doctor believes it was primarily the aspirin. I like to think my healthier weight helped too.

I had severe pre-e and my son was born at 33 weeks, my next 2ws born at 39+6, just hypertension no pre e.

 

[Tasha]

I've been taking aspirin since bfp. Also had blood thinners. I'm 36+1 today and no sign of pre-eclampsia but I'm now in hospital for other reasons so it's unlikely I'll get it.

 

[ttc126]

I started baby aspirin at 8 weeks. I credit it with keeping us from a second round of preeclampsia.

 

[gemstone]

I had pre-e, eclampsia & hellp with my first. Was very ill for months after delivery. My last 2 pregnancies after I have just had pre-e no seizures but still bad. All born early by emergency induction. I'm 🙏🏻 this time it doesn't get me. I can't take aspirin as I'm have to take steroids for bad asthma and that already thins the blood and I postpartum haemorrhage very bad too. Hope all just ladies miss it this time. Good luck ladies xx

 

[sethsmummy]

oh hun i hope you miss it this time! sounds like youve been through a lot already

 

[Tasha]

I didn't get pre-eclampsia I've five previous pregnancies that made it to second tri and they all had it but this time no. I think it's the 150mg aspirin and 160mg clexane a day.
