I'm under the care of a midwife and we've actually turned it around, with nutrition, bed rest, homeopathy, massage (lymph drainage) and supplements! I have real ankles again, normal BP's, no protien in my urine and no dizziness or headaches!! Now it's just a matter of keeping up the diet and waiting it out so I can have my home birth! Thanks for the well wishes.Laura McElfreshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453297877496937090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682787938643732498.post-14541387198589920512009-02-13T11:36:00.000-07:002009-02-13T11:36:00.000-07:00I was put on bedrest with all 3 of my pregnancies ...I was put on bedrest with all 3 of my pregnancies due to preeclampsia. I can't imagine having 5 at home and being on bedrest!! It sounds like your family is really stepping up though!! My two boys were born at 27 & 31 weeks. So you are doing great at 34 weeks!! Hope everything goes well!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087106981792142894noreply@blogger.com
