It wasn’t pre eclampsia
Absolutely not.
I was taken into hospital 10 days overdue with my daughter and high blood pressure.
I had my protein in wee, suspected PRE preeclampsia. If it had be actual eclampsia I would have had an emergency section immediately, no questions. Mothers and babies die otherwise.
There is a rare happening that the mother can still have symptoms, high blood pressure etc after birth, but, it’s rare.
Abbie could have developed this. She may well have high blood pressure. Not sure why anyone would pretend to have high blood pressure……..
This is most probably what Abbie had.
The condition before it turns to pre eclampsia which is not ideal, but certainly not as dangerous as pre eclampsia or actual eclampsia.
Abbie’s just had a section, which is surgery. It takes weeks for the drugs and anaesthesia to leave your body fully after any surgery, plus she’s just been pregnant and is clearly a very anxious person, plus she has to deal with Nicole on the daily. She probably has just run out of fuel. Now she will be running on empty. Her hormones will be all over the place too.
Post natal depression usually shows anytime after 2/3 weeks, so watch this space for that.
I feel for her if she does suffer with it again, but, she had it the first 2 times with her previous children, there’s no way she wouldn’t be susceptible to it again.
Oh dear. Life is about to get very tough
