    I didn't feel much at all until I was in a very bad way. My ob said that I needed to pay attention to headaches that didn't go away with panadol, stabbing pains below my ribs and visual disturbances... but I didn't have any of those things until my bp was through the roof.
    This time I had high bp and kidney function was borderline dodgy but again I felt OK. Not even any fluid retention.

    You don't always have obvious signs, but like Kim said, I did just feel a little weird. So if you feel strange then at least go get your bp and urine checked. It is better to be safe than sorry.

    The PE was worse in my first pregnancy and I was induced a few weeks early after spending a week in hospital on strict bed rest, they only let me out for Christmas Day with clear instructions to sit on my bum with my feet up and do nothing for 2 hours then go back.

    With DD she was happy for me to bed at home and rest, did a stretch and sweep, gave me 4 days to go naturally. Ended up with another induction.

    Thanks for the replies
    I'm on my ph
    I called Hubby out of work so he is on way home, and I called the midwifes, she thinks I'm dehydrated and told me to eat drink and rest.
    Also said she will look at my chart and if she thinks I need to come in she will call me and if it gets worse to call her
    also said she doubts Pre eclampsia cause it's not my first baby and I have the same partner for all my children

    Im going to go for a long walk on the weekend, dont eat spicy food, and sex, well thats what got me here, and i dont think its going to get me out lol

    I just want this headache to go away, its annoying and hurts! Panadol barely does anything! At least its alot less hurty than it was the last few days!
