    Fabfiona- i had a stretch & sweep at 36+4 and that sent me into labour, if that didnt then i was going to be induced im glad the S&S did it for me as i wanted a natural labour!

    Tash- i read a interview with some Dr about your diet being part of getting pre-eclampsia i might google it too

    Kim- wowee after you had but you got it, is that uncommon?? im pretty freaked out that either this baby will be born right on DS2 birthday or heeps before due to getting this again guess this is what im trying to figure out but im sure its all a mystery!

    I had PE with #1 and didnt have it with any of the others (ive had 7).

    I have developed high bp with all of them at the end of my pregnancy but i have essential hypertension ( high bp all the time due to kidney issues) so im on bp meds for the rest of my life and its expected that my bp will rise towards the end.

    Its hard to say if you will get PE again, just have to keep a close eye on things.

    They didn't seem freaked about it so I guess it's not totally uncommon It is a worry though that I totally understand
