    Well the midwife yesturday blammed it on the uterus stretching, but she still wanted to keep a close watch on me, because she was a tad concerned. The pains in my chest, she said they were concerning because they stayed for a few days, and next time I am kept up at night from them then I must go in and see them. But because the pains left me for a day, then it couldnt be too bad.. yet..
    They checked my urine for protein and it was clear, but she also thought it could have been a uti because the pain had been affecting my kidney area too.. but I was all clear. My BP was back to normal, they said the increase could have just been the extra blood in the system So I'm hoping all goes well. I really would not like to get PE because I went onto the PE website and read some really sad stories.
    But midwife says i still could get PE, they just cannot detect it yet.
    Thanks everyone for supporting me through this
