I'm going to bullet point, it's about how I'm thinking atm, as opposed to conversational sentences. Concentration not fantastic.
-I'm under both a GP and midwife now for regular checkups. -First preg, stressful times but healthy, low bp maintained, a few issues at the birth but nothing major. -Second pregnancy, super low risk for P.E.T, but developing miagranes, vision issues and blood pressure on the rise for the first time in my life! Cruisy time in our lives atm as opposed to when we had our first. The swellings not really there, and there is only a trace of protein which is still being monitored over the next few days. It could just be that I've developed miagranes later in pregnancy, but weird that it was 'reactivated' when I vacumed today? Can PET occur in degrees? I have a growth scan tomorrow too, but that could just be mw measuring funny, baby laying funny etc etc. -------------  http://lilypie.com"> |

As far as I was aware there are varying degrees and it can progress quickly or slowly or not at all....
The growth scan could be cautionary.. IUGR can be caused by PET so they may just want check that everything is as it should be 
I *think* they can give medication if its mild-moderate but they will do more tests to confirm (ie bloods and normally a 24 hour urine test too)... Hugs, if it is PET hopefully its mild and you can just carry on as you are with just a bit of extra monitoring! -------------

Oh i hope it doesnt turn into PET
I had high bp and swelling for about a month before mine got bad, i just went to mw more frequently and she kept an eye on bp and pee sticks. I hope yours is just blood pressure and no other symptoms and they can keep an eye/medicine for it. |
