I'm still here have had an awful week which involved the mother of all headaches, swollen fingers and heartburn from hell. However bloods were fine, blood pressure was also fine so I get to "enjoy" another week of late pregnancy!
My section is on wednesday. I can still pretend it's ages away as it's next month but it's not is it. I have to go for bloods and pre op assessment on tuesday.
I can't see anything happening in the next 6 days but given the nature of PE anything could happen I guess at anytime and I'm certainly vigilent to the signs.
So I have my bag packed but I'm going to repack it to make sure i have everything for baby and have a last minute panic about things but I'm really looking forwards to it all being over.
I look forwards to posting my birth announcement next week if i get 2 minutes at any point. If not I am in touch with Mossy so I'm sure she'll be delighted to do it for me.
thanks once again for the continuing support. I've nearly done it and I can nearly say PE free so I hope i give some of you hope that it can go well.

Hi Sparkling,
Congratulations on getting so much further this time around despite the 'wobbles'! I really look forward to hearing about Eleanors new baby brother or sister. I hope his/her birth is everything you hope it to be.
Warm Wishes Liz
