Did u have a vb or c section Msj?

Thank you. That does make me feel better. I know my baby girl weights 3 and a half lol but it's still scary knowing it could be sooner. Especially them saying it might get severe since I got it so early. And @excited be careful girl. If ur already swelling and stuff get checked. Check that protein in ur urine. But luckily Im at the hospital that's close to my family lol wont be so bored.

Yes at 34 weeks w/ my 1st pregnancy, had to be induced at 35 3/4 weeks and son was 1 month early.  No pain at all just sort of stressful being in hospital for 8 days. My son was fine and perfect and is 6 years old now. Stay relaxed and don't worry.

My BP is high right now...the doctor haven't diagnosed it as preeclampsia...I had high blood pressure before I got pregnant...I'm 24+3...I can't say that I'm not nervous. I'm praying for you and your baby!

Hi! I did not personally go thru preeclampsia but my best friend went thru it with her first daughter. I can't tell u her whole experience but I can tell you that her daughter may have been early and only 2 lb 15oz but today she is four and so healthy and smart and the most beautiful little red headed lil lady. My point is that everything will be fine just take it easy and have faith! Not sure if that really helps :)
