Midwife rang tonight with blood test results. Uric acid levels are raised slightly so it means my kidneys are starting to be affected so looks like preeclampsia. She has booked me into the hospital tomorrow for monitoring and more tests. Made the mistake of googling and am a bit of a mess. Seems my natural birth hopes are dashed. Best case scenario is an induced labour which I dread due to the intensity of the contractions and the almost inevitable need for further intervention. This is unless the baby decides to come of his own accord pretty soon which I don't think is likely since he is only 2/5 engaged and I am having no downward pressure, cramps or signs.
