pmsl Liz. You're right. Bearing down is clearly the order of the day lolool.

As long as this little lady is delivered safe and sound nothing else really matters. I'm obviously gagging to go there...........but fate seems to have other ideas xx

Bearing up, tell her she has it the wrong way round Muffy lol

Hope all goes well, if you are meant to be with her at the time it will work out.
Take care,
Lizxx

Thanks Caz and Liz.

Yes Caz it's her first. She's an older mum so the last stages are not going to well for her at all.....I'm thoroughly hacked off at being so far away but we are in constant phone contact and she is keeping her sick sense of humour thankfully so I think she's bearing up ok xx

Good luck to your mate muffy, is it her 1st? pre eclampsia tends to worse with the first,


Cazzles xxxx

Oh Muffy, hope things go okay for your pal and you get to spend time with her - take care with the drive.

Know how you feel Muffy,,,we are coping with a small problem at the moment,,,

Thanks everyone...........

She's ok but the visit is off for tomorrow ......she has a hospital appointment at 2 o'clock ish and there is still a chance she may have to go back in.........depending on the scan result.....so I don't want to be doing the 3 plus hour drive just to turn around and come back again if she's kept in.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH so frustrating!!!!.

Hoping to still make it for friday and saturday if she's not taken in but I spent the day getting the girls stuff ready for school and stuff packed up and route planned etc etc.Needn't have knocked myself out !!! I have to admit I'll feel better if she goes back in just for peace of mind but she's fed up with it as you can imagine. xx

That's good news:))))

Enjoy your visit and fingers crossed everything goes well for her.

all my love to you both its such a anxious time with out all the worry, she is lucky haveing a lovely caring friend xxx

Well I'm pretty shocked.......they've sent her home for now as blood pressure is down slightly so it looks like I'm off for a visit tomorrow. Fingers crossed we're on track for a natural start in the next few days xx

Thanks everyone.

I'm really wound up. She lives three and a half hours drive away and I feel totally helpless.

Baby is apparently a bit on the small side which they are concerned about........I just hope she comes by herself as soon as possible.

I've had two kids myself but I can't believe how panicky I am for my friend xx

I had this Muffy ...the worse is they will start her off..

Shes in the best place if she can stay there,,,,rest will help..but it will be fine ,,just stay calm youve not got long to wait now Muffy,,,

i had it with both my children

and they where ok hun

son was over 11lb full term

and stray was prem at over 9lbs

worst part was the stay in the anti natal ward

Hi Muffy

I know how she feels . I was taken into hospital 6 days before due day as was showing signs of pre e.

At one point a nurse said I could go home - got all ready then another nurse said I couldn't :-(((

I was induced ( 5 times - don't tell your friend ) & in the end had emergency c section ! So had to stay in hospital for another 5 days !!!

hi hun the hospital will not induce unless apsolutly nessesary

long as she gets lots of bed rest and is monitored im sure she is going to be fine its not that uncommon nowadays babes so try not to worry


not long now auntie muffy xxx

luv n hugs
stray

I had pre-eclampsia with my second son... I was in hospital for two months before he was born on bed rest etc... but he is now 33... 6ft 3ins, birth weight 7lb 2ozs... now has a very high powered and complicated technical job with British Aerospace (Masters degree in Aerospace systems Engineering) so tell her to chill.. it will be fine... and the more she and everyone else worries the worse it will feel. You are more than welcome to give her my details to chat to... pm me if she would like them!

Love

Daff xxxxx

pmsl..........it's going to be a girl Kitty though I'm sure knowing her sense of humour she'd have had Damion if she could've xx
