Induction Might Happen even Sooner!

At my appointment last week, my midwife scheduled our induction for Monday, 2/6 due to pre-eclampsia. I have been going for regular NSTs and the baby has always looked great.
Well, at today's appointment my midwife basically prepared me for a Thursday induction . . . she was worried about the protein in my urine based on the quick test and ordered a 24-hour urine test. Depending on those results, I might have an outside baby by the end of the week!
WHOA!!!! I really wanted to make it to 37 weeks, but a few days won't change too much . . . .

Re: Induction Might Happen even Sooner!
That's the one thing that has gotten me through all the ups and downs with this. Bed rest is really no fun . . . but I do get to meet my little one sooner. And my mw keeps assuring me that at this point he/she is developed enough to not have any long term complications, so I am getting quite excited
Of course laboring in bed, not being able to walk around and the possibility of needing magnesium sulfate to stop potential seizures is all a little frightening, but I trust the medical staff to keep me and my little one safe.
