Back from the Doctor's/Hospital

BetsyDavis

I had a check up this morning and once again they sent me to the hospital to get monitored and have an ultrasound done because my bp was high and my head was stll hurting. The good part is my protein levels went down but my bp and headache won't quit. The nurse at the hospital was able to get my bp down some not a lot. The ultrasound went good. Ellie's measuring ahead at 37 weeks and had plenty of fluid and weighed in at 6lbs 10 oz. They even were able to print some pictures off for me which was nice of them. Since Ellie's measuring ahead when I go back in on Monday I might be having her my doctor said it all depends on where my bp is and how bad my headache is. She'd still like me to be closer to 37 and if Ellie's measuring ahead it would be even better chance that she won't have to go to the nicu at all. Which I'm hoping for. They wanted to keep me over night again but I talked them into letting me stay at home for the weekend and promised to not get up at all. I feel more at ease at home and sleep better. So monday we go back for another check-up and NST and internal. I've been having a lot of contractions so they're hoping maybe Ellie will throw me into labor without having to be induced but I doubt I'll go into labor before next weekend. I just want my baby here safe and sound. Thanks for all the support it's really helped me get through the past couple weeks.

It is great that LO is measuring ahead.  I wish you and LO the very best-- especially lots of luck on Monday, whether you deliver or not!

Can I ask how high your BP is?  Mine has been elevated these last two weeks and I'm leaking protein in my urine now...but the doctor isn't doing anything about it.
