In 2017 i was undiagnosed with Pre eclampsia. This was missed even under consultant led care due to high risk twin pregnancy.The diagnosis of Eclampsia was given during my planned C-section at 38weeks. 

The late diagnosis resulted in major blood loss and convulsions during surgery, luckily for me i was in the right place at the right time and my life was saved.  

Others arnt so lucky… This is why iv chosen to raise funds for this charity to bring awareness to midwives, pregnant mothers and the public of the disease in doing so we can reduce the effects and save the lives of women and babies in the UK.

Action on Pre-eclampsia (also known as APEC) aims to raise public and professional awareness of pre-eclampsia, improve care, and ease or prevent physical and emotional suffering caused by the disease.

APEC is a charity registered in the UK. We run a helpline and provide information to members of the public who are affected by pre-eclampsia – be this pregnant women, their family and friends and anyone worried about pre-eclampsia. We run study days for midwives and health professionals who work with pregnant women, providing expert training on detection and management of pre-eclampsia. We also facilitate a unique expert referral service, whereby women can be referred by their GPs to an expert on pre-eclampsia in their area. APEC also provide leaflets to hospitals and maternity units informing women about pre-eclampsia and the importance of antenatal care.
