my pre-eclampsia story is short and sweet. I went in for my usual checkup at 37wks and 4 days. My blood pressure was high and the ob said to me have you had any swelling. So I said come to think of it I haven't been able to get my wedding ring off lately.

She admitted me straight away for observation. I had to do a urine sample and that is when they found out i had to protein in my urine and I was told I had pre-eclampsia. So my 4hr observation turned into 7 hrs. My ob came back and said I was going to be induced the next night at 7pm. I could either stay overnight or go home, and come back. I opted to go home.

So i was induced at 7pm the next day at 37wks and 5 days, and Kameron was born after a 3hr 20min labour the following day at 37wks and 6 days.
