My hopes are going south....

So, my appointment today was not good.  My BP was a bit higher than normal, there was some protein in my urine, I've gained 5lbs in the last two-ish weeks...all of which are starting signs of my pre-e coming back. She had a hard time finding his heart beat because he's in there all weird, but she also thinks it's possible he turned the wrong way again. I'm also only 36wks but measuring at 40wks already and she said he feels really big. I'm "maybe" a fingertip dilated and kind of soft but not really. She couldn't feel him at all when checking so he's really high up apparently. She doesn't sound very optimistic about my VBAC anymore.  I have an ultrasound next week to verify position and get a guess on size and we'll go from there and keep watching my BP and all that. She didn't put me on bed rest but told me to take it easy and that if my BP had anymore issues I would be. 

So yay. That's that.  We'll see what next week brings. I'm starting to feel my dreams slip further and further away.

(Hugs) hope it is not pre-e. I am thinking positive thoughts for you!

I'm sorry that things aren't looking good.  Definitely take it easy and try to keep your BP under control.  Hopefully by next week, you'll have more positive news from the ultrasound and visit.  Don't give up!

Thanks ladies. I'm trying my best to be positive but when it was so much negative/unknown all at once it makes it really hard. Hopefully next week will be better. Either way, I get a son out of it in the end so that makes me happy.

((hugs)) I'm sorry to hear about the pre-e possibly coming back.  I truly hope next week's appointment is better!

So sorry.  Take it easy....up your plant protein & water intake a lot and see what the does for you by your next appt.  And honestly, I would take the baby being large with a grain of salt...and that you're only a fingertip dilated & the baby being in a weird position.  That will change!!!

Praying for you!  I hope it all works out in your favor!
