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.

thanks again darl xoxoxo

Hi Hollye

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.

Thinking of you,
OP

Hi Hollye, how are you going there?

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.

best of luck to you.
