”They told me that the day before, that labor could be quite quick with pre-eclampsia. Your body often just needs to get the baby out.” Edith shares her smooth induction with pre-eclampsia tofirst…
So for preeclampsia, this is another great induction story because really no hiccups after-
No
...
the fact that you-
And I think-
... had preeclampsia, which is, it's completely out of your control.
You haven't done anything to deserve it.
It's just one of those things.
Yeah.
And you have a bit of misoprostol, you have a little bit of synthetic oxytocin, and away you go.
Active labor would've been quite a short time.
Yeah, it was, it was very quick, and I think they told me that the day before that labor could be quite quick with preeclampsia.
Your body often just needs to get the baby out.
Mm.
Absolutely.
There we go.
