Pre eclampsia 39+4

Hey!

I am petrified now, I was admitted last night with pre eclampsia as blood preassure was extremely high. They have given me medication and blmy blood preassure is now stable. I am due for my planned c section tomorrow morning so they are just keeping me until then now. I have read about it and says about blood clots etc. I'm so so so scared!!!!! The consultant says it's very mild aa so late in the pregnancy and my bloods are fine and blood preassure now stable but my urine showed the protein for pre eclampsia.

Please can anyone share reassurance as I am so nervous I can't explain.

Hiya i had severe pre eclampsia and an emergency c section you will do just fine , I was fine just had some injections afterwards xx

I was admitted at 34 weeks for preeclampsia and during my stay they found my twins placentas were calcified too so they scheduled a c section. My OB said if it wasn’t for my already damaged kidney (childhood issues) they’d let me deliver vaginally but my creatinine levels were off the charts. Blood pressure and preeclampsia doesn’t need to mean c section. But my experience was great, I had my twins 10 days ago and I’m up and about walking - did 2500 steps earlier walking up stairs without pain. Just had an awful 3 days after surgery where I was already anaemic and lost blood during surgery and I was given a transfusion

Welll

So who’s pregnant again with me 😂

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Please be nice as I have anxiety…

So I’m 20 weeks pregnant and I went to the hospital for light bleeding when I wipe ( not ever time though).. the doctor told me it was due to sex and that my cervix was irritated has anyone else experienced this? And or know way to just calm my anxiety from it

Dabs

Anyone take a dab or two when pregnant? I’m about 20weeks today.

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭

Waiting

I am at 39 + 6 weeks today.

Anyone else in a similar boat?

Patiently waiting FTM, any advice/tips/experiences ?
