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!

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.

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!
