I have pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) so I am not borderline pre-e yet. I am on bed rest until 37-38 weeks and then they will induce me. I hope my bp stays where it is but it keeps going up.
I was diagnosed with mild pre-e with my first pg. I had extreme swelling - maybe around 37 weeks - I actually gained 12 pounds in one week! I did a 24 hour urine capture at some point and then at my 38 week, I was put on bedrest. It helped and they let me go back to work but at my next appointment, they scheduled an induction. I went in at 7am on Thursday, the Pitocin was hooked up at 9am and I had my dd at 4 am on Friday I 'm hoping for a different result this time! I should say - I'm hoping for a better labor. I happened to like the result
I have hypertension and elevated proteins, but the proteins aren't high enough for pre-e diagnosis. So, no pre-e yet, but they are watching me closely. For me it means strict bedrest, bp meds., twice a week NSTs and once a week BPPs, plus I've done 24 hour urine samples weekly until this week. I'm also seeing a perinatalogist every other week.
