introducing myself

i had pre-e and was hospitalized feb 25 for high blood pressure and symptoms of pre-e. on sunday march 1, they decided to induce after getting my 24 hour urine screen results. i took 2 rounds of cervadil and 3 rounds of cytotec from sunday afternoon through tuesday morning. my cervix was still completely closed so we opted for a c section. my daugther was born march 3 at 10:03 am weighing 3 lbs 7.2 oz. she was born at 31 weeks 5 days. she is in the NICU on a ventilator currently but is doing well so far. we named her audrey lynn. we couldn't be more proud of her for being a fighter! her nurses call her onary audrey. we are looking forward to her coming home... hopefully by easter. 

i am so so so happy to be eating regular food. desserts are fantastic and super happy to not have GD anymore!!!! my BP is still in need of medication but it was stable enough for me to come home today.

    Congrats!!! Great weight too. This board is amazing and full of wonderful ladies. And I do understand about the desserts. I also had GD and I went on a freaky sugar addiction that lasted about 2 months. I think I was trying to make up for all that time of eating right.?

    Welcome and congrats on Audrey.  I think the ornery babies are strong willed and good fighters.  Hopefully that will help her recover quickly to make an Easter home coming!  Please ask us any questions you have, vent when you need, and share any mini NICU victories with us.  I'll keep you in my prayers.

    Welcome to the board....I was diagnosed with Pre-e the day I had my son, Brendan. But long before that, at 8 wks preg, was diagnosed with PIH (pregnancy induced hypertension). ?Anyway I love the name you chose for your daughter, am happy to hear your GD is gone and you are enjoying yummy food again.?

    Welcome and congrats on your baby girl! I had my DD at 32 weeks after being diagnosed with PIH, and ended up having her via emergency c-section the same day! She came home after 5 weeks, was on a monitor for a month, and now she is just wonderful!

    Did you get the steroid shots? I got one but it didn't matter, since it was only about an hour or so before we delivered... I know that makes a big difference for lunch development!

    Good luck and let us know if you need anything! Otherwise, enjoy the sweets!

    Congrats on your little one!  We have a preemie by the name of Aubrey.  She's an onry one too!  Even though the names aren't exactly the same, it's close enough to consider it a characteristic of the name, right?!  I hope she continues to be a fighter like ours is.  Welcome to a wonderful board filled with amazing people!

    Congrats on your little girl!  My daughter was born at 31w6d due to HELLP.  She was in the NICU for 31 days and is doing great now.  Good luck and I hope Audrey has a short NICU stay!

    Congrats. Not sure if you are in Columbus, but if so, my boys were at the Riverside Children's NICU and it was a great experience.
