I had severe pre eclampsia, and It was a very difficult labour resulting in 2 big German midwives forcibly squashing my stomuch to help him out! Great fun! But he was absolutely fine, weighed in at 4lb 5oz, and didnt even need to go to SCBU. :-)
Im pregnant again, now at 34 weeks, Im being closely monitored and have had the steroid injections as, again, my obstetrician thinks the baby may put in an early show (either voluntarily or through necessity!)....damn my useless cervix and pre ecamptic tendencies!:-)
If the babies already engaged it doesnt necessarily mean itll come early, its very common especially in first pregnancies.
