I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious baby. I'm glad you've found this forum for support. Keri is right - you cannot blame yourself for the situation you found yourself in. PE is tricky in that sometimes it is cut-and-dry and easy to diagnose and sometimes it looks just like pregnancy and blind...

Congratulations! What a lovely name!
Sorry it struck again, but glad it went well. How are you both doing now??

Sorry to be late on this But congratulations!! I hope and pray that this is a smooth sailing pregnancy for you!

I think sitting down with feet down is just as bad! It was for me, anyway. Can you prop your feet up at all?

you could certainly start out with just BP issues and then have the protein come along later. but a PE diagnosis will have to have both. PIH (pregnancy-induced hypertension or gestational hypertension) is high BP with no protein. I feel like that one can be a bit trickier to diagnose, but that is si...
