September 2014 Moms

Well, it looks like I'll be an August mama

We'd been watching my blood pressure for pretty much my entire pregnancy. It'd always run on the higher end (130s/80s). At my 36 wk appointment on Wednesday, it was 170/90, then 160/100 after resting for 5 minutes. Too high so they sent me straight to L&D for monitoring. Of course, once I got there, my BPs were in the 120s/70s range, lab work all came back fine, and baby was doing great so I was only there for a couple of hours. They sent me home to do my 24 hr urine test and was put on bed rest. 

When I turned in my sample yesterday, they took my bp again. Initally, it was 154/92 (too high again) but after laying down, it was 134/86 so I was sent home again with strict bed rest orders. I got a call around 11 today saying they got my results back from the 24 hr urine sample at it was 345 which gave me a diagnosis of pre-eclampsia. Cue freak out. 

They will be inducing me on Tuesday (not sure if it'll be Monday night into Tuesday, or Tuesday night into Wednesday) so I will be becoming an August mom! While I am SO excited for my son to be here. I have a lot of anxiety about the induction and LO being healthy. T&P would be greating appreciated! Luckily, I had started to dialate at my appt and lost my mp yesterday so I'm hoping I'll be "favorable" for a vaginal delivery but I guess we'll see. Would love to hear some stories about successful inductions!

  • Try not to stress too much, as that will spike your BP.  By Tuesday, you'll be in the 37w window, so baby has excellent chances of being healthy.  Rest, hydrate, and eat up for the delivery and good luck!

  • Good luck!  I hope your induction goes easily for both you and LO!
  • Good luck on Tuesday, on a positive note, you know when baby is coming. I was induced with DD and was completely closed up and still had a very successful and easy induction.
  • @Jenner37 Glad to hear you had an easy induction! You're right, the planner in me is kind of liking this induction thing. I just made up a nice long list of everything DH needs to take care of before Tuesday!

  • I had pre e with my last baby. They made me deliver right away at 36 weeks because of the combo of hbp and some signs of kidney and liver damage.
    My platelets were low so initially they didn't want to give me the epidural ,
    They did in the end.
    I was still able to have a vag delivery.
    Good luck.
    Once you deliver, all those aymptoms should disappear almost immediately.
  • @Mbechara, glad to hear you were still able to get the epidural...that's my plan. :) Thanks for sharing your story!

  • Good luck! I was induced a little early with my first due to suspected IUGR and aside from a long labor, I had a relatively uncomplicated vaginal birth.

  • Wishing you good luck!  With DS my blood pressure was fine up until 38 weeks.  I went from my weekly appointment straight to L&D for monitoring and then was induced that evening.  I was already 3 cm, so they only used pitocin.  It was a long labor, but complication free.  The doctor had to break my water.  I didn't think the pitocin contractions were too bad until after my water broke, that's when I got the epidural (which was wonderful).  I delivered DS vaginally.  

    I'll be induced this time around as well, but no date set yet.  Good luck on Tuesday!

  • @mytinc Thanks for sharing your story! At my appt, they said if my bp hadn't gone down, I would have been induced right away. Luckily, I have a few more days to mentally prepare! I'm feeling a lot better about it now...it feels like Christmas x1000. I am so excited to meey this little guy!

  • I was in the same boat as you with my first baby. My induction didn't go so great, but my BP shot up really fast and I was completely closed.

    My BP is starting to get high again this time. I'm hoping he comes before I get diagnosed with preeclampsia. I am a fingertip dilated this time. She told me an induction would go much better, since im dilated. So from what im told, you sound like a great candidate for an induction and have it go great!

    Thinking of you!
