Interesting Drs Appt...

So I went in this morning for my 38 wk check up.  I'm dilated 3 cms and still about 70% effaced.  Nurse noticed my blood pressure high.  They did the regular appt and then checked my blood pressure again...it went up a little higher.  I was given a big jug to do a 24 hr urine sample.  Apparently I also have high traces of protein in my urine and my legs are swollen.  It's crazy because it all happened over night.  I go turn it in tomorrow and if its abnormal they will call me with a Wednesday induction time.  I also see my GD dr tomorrow so if my blood pressure is high I will be sent to L&D immediately.  If everything checks out I will see the GD dr again on Friday just for a regular check up.  They are basically waiting for me to have another high blood pressure reading and then I will be induced.  I will see my regular dr on Monday if I last that long and then will see the GD dr on Wed and Fri.  I'm guessing I won't get passed this week. They are guessing this is the beginning of Pre-E.   Augh, I'm so nervous now!  I was ready for baby but not this way.

  • (HUGS) Definitely sounds like the beginning stages of Pre-E because that sounds pretty much like what my sister had.

  • Sounds just like me :-) Luckily you have already started some great progression so if you are induced it should be 'easy' - the worst part was the urine catch. Who wants a jug-o-pee in their fridge? Time to get a few last minute things done, take a deep breath and enjoy the ride!

  • I'm sure that is scary. However, just think, it's almost Baby Time!!
  • I bet that is a scary expriance, but at least they are watching you very closely. He'll be here before you know it :)
  • Thoughts are with you my dear! Almost baby time <3
  • Hugs! I know how scary that can be!! I had pretty much the same thing happen with both of my kids.  Are you on bedrest until you get the results or are they letting you work?  How nervewracking and exciting for you.  I hope that you get to meet your little boy soon but that you don't have to also have pre-e!!!

  • I got written off work today.  It was a big shock because I wasn''t expecting it.  I looked up the symptoms of Pre-E and most of them fit me to the "t".  I'm betting I'll be induced tomorrow.  Eeeek!

  • I'm sorry your doctor's appointment didn't go well! Hopefully your tests go better and they won't feel the need to induce you so soon! If you do end up getting induced though, you're just that much closer to meeting him!! :D
