Hi again,

Congrats on the birth of your little girl! :)

Sorry your nurse wasnt so great at the end! Some of them are HOPELESS! Last time I wrote in here I was 24 weeks.. I'm 26.5weeks now and have had another hospital stay myself for my pre-eclampsia! Its no fun is it?!  My bubs will probably arrive in the next 4-6 weeks (they don't think theres ANY chance of me going past then). We're on 'a day at a time with every day to be thought of as a bonus' until bubs is born!

Anyway I'm glad your ordeal is over with now and you have a nice healthy bubs and by the sounds of it you're doing okay now too!

Don't forget to put pics of her up as soon as you get a chance, I'd love to see her :D

Take care,

Charmaine

Hi there!

I know this is easy said but try not to worry about the PE. You're at a great gestation now.. tomorrow you're 36 weeks which is basically term in the scheme of things! I've got 3+ of protein already and my bp has been raised for a few weeks (I'm almost 24 weeks now) and have had PE in my first pregnancy (delivered at 31 weeks) and hypertension in my seocnd (delivered at 35 weeks) so I completely understand what you are going through.

Know though, that to have you admitted and on bedrest and monitored around the clock as they do in hospital - > you are getting the best care possible and if anything gets worse then they'll deliver you no problems which is the best thing for both of you should that happen. Baby will be fine and might even be 6lb already depending on growth rates which is just a 'small newborn' weight.

And as for your health I'm sure with all this close monitoring its going to be just as fine as bubs!

Goodluck with the remainder of your pregnancy, lets hope you can last the next 8 days and have a 'fullterm' bub and everything ends well for both of you.

Take care, I'll be thinking of you!
