what kinda things did you go through? did it start early? continue after you had her? what did it get up to?

[BellaNightshade]

I can't remember what my blood pressure went up to but it started going up at about 5 months or so into my pregnancy and i had to go to the hospital about 2-3 times a week to have it contstantly checked. I was admitted to hospital overnight at one stage as it went really high but was then let out again and managed to make it through and was induced about 2-3 weeks early, i had an epidural and everything went fine, it was a long labour but wasnt too bad as i wasnt in pain much.
Things returned to more or less normal after i had her yeah.

what did they do when you were admitted to hosp? just keep a eye on it? did you have protein in your urine too?

[BellaNightshade]

Yeah they just kept an eye on it, had protein in urine towards the end i think.
