Ok lets see if i remember. EDD 04/03/2003

Weeks pg 33.4.

I had swollen hands and legs/feet from the November. Did not have anything else wrong BP was fine and protien in my urine was alright also.
But in the January after a nice Christmas break from work. I woke one morning and i really did not want to go to work still had two weeks left till i took my leave.
16/01/03 Went to my doctors and all i could do is :smt022 he took my BP and aid it was up and also took a sample of urine . I asked him to sign me of work i just could not cope with going in. After i stopped crying he did my BP again and was still up. He let me go home and said he will see me again the next day to see if everything was alright and my BP had gone down.
Went back the next day and everything was still high and found a problem with my urine again i went home. Well shopping, then my DH phoned can i go back to the doctors so i went back and waited to see him. He come out with this look on his face he said don't be alarmed but can you go to the hospital they just want to monitor you to see how things are.
So of i went thinking i would be there a few hours told DH not to bother coming up till i phoned. So i laid on this bed for ages have all the same tests that the doctor done. By tea time they said i was not going home have to stay in and as it was a Friday i would most likly not going home till Monday. So i was stuck there till then. BP come down and the urine was alright so Monday morning home i went had a midwife coming in every two days to check me out. But i was only home 7 days and then i was back again. This time i had to fill a bottle of urine for 24hrs so they could check it for how much protien it so i had to carry a bottle and a jug around with me. As i was not filling it quick i was told to drink more water. BP was still up but not to high. After three days so lying in bed and not doing anything i was allowed home. 29/01/2003
When i got home my dog eat my shoes so i could not go out the only pair i could get my swollen feet into i think she tought if she could eat them i would stay home. But she was wrong by the Friday 31/01/2003 i was so ill i had a headache that i could not get rid of. Tried to sleep that night and could not my head hurt soooo much. Took some paracetimol to see if that would help but just started vomiting after i took them.
By this time it was 1.30 am woke DH and phoned the hospital as i had to if i got ill. So off we went in the snow when we got there thought they would just do the same tests as they had done before. So i sent him home but by 6 am they said can he come back as i had ++++4 protien in my wee and that was a bad sign that i was going down fast and they wanted to take the baby out before 8. Kimberley was also still breached.

So she was delived by c-section at 35.4 weeks 01/02/03

The hardest part of all this is that i was told they would save me and not the baby if i got to ill as they said you can also go on and have another but if they lost me and saved the baby it would not have a mother.

Gosh that was long. Not sure if i missed anything.
