Pre-eclampsia - Prayer Request

[Prisca982]

Hi there,

I had pre-eclampsia with my first baby two years ago. (It's quite a common complication causing high blood pressure and eventually organ failure). Mine developed early however, and my son had to be delivered at 30 weeks by emergency caesarean. I had a fit a couple of days before, and we both could have died. My son spent five weeks in hospital.

We're both fine now, but I'm 25 weeks pregnant again and scared. DH and I went for it a second time in the hope and prayer that PE wouldn't come back, but I think as the 26 week mark approaches (that's when I developed symptoms first time round) I'm getting nervous. It could come back and it could be worse.

I'm feeling really anxious and panicky. What if it's worse this time and the baby dies? Or has complications because of an early delivery? Even if the baby is fine, as DS is now, I'm still afraid of the trauma of another early arrival.

Please could you pray that I would have peace in my soul, and also that God would keep us safe and well.

Thank you.

Please don't put your mind there anymore. I know someone who was so worried about miscarrying and it just does nothing for you to worry. Pray and believe that God will take care of both you and your little one.

Thank you for your prayers.

Just wanted to let you know that I'm still pregnant at 30 weeks with no signs of trouble yet, praise God! It's a wonderful milestone to reach, as this was the time DS was born last pregnancy.

Very thankful that the baby is still safely inside me, and at the moment there are no signs of another risky pregnancy. Hoping for a safe delivery on (or around!) 10 Dec!

Awesome! Thank God!

I hope your delivery goes well.

I know I'm late, but nothing wrong with a little extra prayer. God bless you.
