Hi Amy,

I didn't have PE as early as you so my situation is different, but thought i'd post a reply anyway. PE can be really serious, sometimes they can stabilise high BP with medication, but given you already have trace protein in your urine i am not sure if this is an option....... have you asked your OB about it?

I REALLY didn't want to be induced, but i was. And i am now glad i had her when i did at 38 weeks. As a result of PE my placenta was shutting down. My little girl was born at 2.6kgs and looked like a skunned rabbit. She wasn't getting enough nutrients across tha placenta. My BP went skyhigh and i was induced 5 days later after 5 days bed rest, monitoring and no improvement.

If i wasn't induced then the outcome may have been very different. I am not trying to scare you, but i would trust your OB,they are not going to bring a baby into this world early for no reason.

Rest up, and the very best of luck to you. xx
