  1. Iv had it twice, first time round wasn’t to bad, just slightly elevated blood pressure went to 37 weeks, baby was small at 5lbs 3.5. Second time I nearly died, my feet/ankles/hands were swollen so went to hospital and my blood pressure was that high the drs panicked and gave baby steroids within 20 minutes of being there, I was pumped with all sorts of medication at 28 weeks, they tried to push me through to 34 weeks but unfortunately my body didn’t respond to the medication, by the time I hit 30 weeks even my face was unrecognisable, I couldn’t see I was that swollen, my son was born via emergency c-section within 2 hours of the dr coming into the room to check my levels, he was born weighing 3lbs 2.5oz, did 6 weeks in the NICU, came home on oxygen for 6 months but he’s now a 12 year old boy who eats more than me and his dad put together, plays football, rugby, and has taken over both myself and our 16 year old height wise 🙈 I never had pain with either of them though, just the swelling, headaches and seeing stars. Your best off getting your midwife to check you over.
