Pre-eclampsia While Pregnant With Twins

by Nicole
(Niagara falls, NY)

I was wondering of anyone has had or has been diagnosed with pre-eclampsia. I am 26 weeks pregnant now and just spent the last week in the hospital. I was wondering if anyone had ever experienced this and had any suggestions on what I can expect with having this condition. I do not want to have to stay in the hospital for this so I am trying to do anything I can to stay at home.

by: Im One Too

I was on home rest and then bed rest with my fraternal twin girls. But then, I was with my single first daughter too.

Frankly, I welcomed it. It was less stressful in the hospital! I didn't have to call the doc with late night questions on how I was doing; I could just ask the next passing nurse. I found it very comforting to be on the constant monitor. I felt like I and my children were being well taken care of.

The pre-eclampsia was monitored until they felt it was at the point when the babies were viable and my health was declining. They gave some injections to help the babies lungs develop quicker prior to delivery. We had a C-section 6 weeks early, and all went fine. Both girls and I were home in a week.

Best of luck to you!
