    Sorry that you are going through this. Hope that they can monitor your LO, get you the steroids for baby's lungs and keep baby cooking as long as possible. My MFM target is to get mom/baby to 28w for fewer long term complications, and you are already there. Hang in there! Being scared when PG takes an unexpected turn is completely normal!

    I had my son due to pre eclampsia at 28 weeks and he is a healthy happy 1 year old now. When I was on hospital bed rest I was told that each day I stayed pregnant was 3 fewer days he would need in the NICU. So just think of each day there as a huge accomplishment. And just try to stay calm and relaxed getting too upset can affect your blood pressure.

    I was in the exact same position at 26 weeks pregnant.  It was so scary, but know you are in the best place getting the care you need.  I was actually released from the hospital the next day and put on modified bed rest.  I go to the Dr. twice a week for ultrasounds, BP checks, urine checks and blood work.  My Dr. initially told me I would be lucky to make it to 34 weeks before having to deliver since I had such early onset.  I have been following all the Dr. orders, stopped eating processed foods and drink tons of water.  I am happy to say I am at 33 weeks today and still going strong. No complications so far.  Keep your head up and stay strong.  When you are first diagnosed it is so scary, but it gets better.  I wish you the best.

    Hi ladies, just wondering if I had preeclampsia with my last kiddo. Is it more common that I will get it again? Or are the chances the same?
