Hi Hollye
I was also diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, your story sounds exactly the same as mine except I was only diagnosed around 36 weeks.
I had monitoring and blood tests every second day and was finally induced the day after my due date.
Not what I really wanted either, however it was the best thing for my bub.
I hope you progess into labour naturally, but in the end you need to think of bubs if there is a medical reason for induction.
Hope this helps
thanks for the reply adkins. I was in hospital at 32 weeks coz they assumed PE then too but my symptoms seemed to fade. I do feel lucky for making it this far and knowing she is fully developed in there but u hear all these horror stories about PE.
As you said.. at the end of the day its what best and im sure my doctor knows what hes doing.
How you doing today? I've not been diagnosed with PE but it is at the front of my mind as I have really bad swelling and I'm only 23 weeks. My Obs is keeping a close eye on my BP and has told me to ring straight away if I get any vision problems.
Sounds like they've at least got your situation under control. Hope it stays that way.
I was diagnosed with possible PE at 35 weeks. I had swelling and my BP was about 165/105. I had protein in my urine but luckily not large amounts. I was hospitalised over the weekend for tests and monitoring and Aldomet seemed to help with lowering my BP a little. I was sent home to rest and have my BP monitored regularly. Had a scan at 37 weeks which showed some calcification of the placenta so OB wanted bub delivered within the week. Because my cervix was unfavourable for induction i ended up with a cs. Bub was born a healthy 7lb8oz at 38+1 weeks.
