Baby Update

MsAmeera25 · March 2013

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I am still stuck in the hospital and have not had the baby yet. The problem seems to be all three of my doctors can't agree on how they would like to proceed. My OB doesn't want to deliver me but my two high risk doctors do. My OB thinks I can make it until the March 14th when he will be 37 weeks and considered full term since my BP's are all over the place and aren't consistently high. I have some elevated blood tests but they re drew them this morning and they went down they still aren't normal but they went down.

OB thinks that since the baby isn't in distress and I myself am feeling well he wants to keep pushing on towards the 14th or at least another week. My perinatalogist doesn't agree and said the baby can go into distress at any moment etc and things can progress quickly without any notice so they would rather take him out. So to be honest I have no idea what they are going to do. My OB said he is going to try to let me go home this afternoon after my 24 hour urine results come in and he talks to the team again, but I just saw the high risk doctor and he said he doesn't think i'm going home and he isn't sure if they are going to deliver. So right now i'm just in limbo And I haven't eaten since 11am yesterday just in case they do the c section so i'm super irritated and hungry.

I can potentially have a baby today or in 14 days so I guess either way it's super duper close.

Sorry they are playing tug of war with you right now, I can't even imagine how frustrating that must be. Here's hoping they make up their minds soon b/c they should know better than to mess with a preggo and her FOOD!

GL and best wishes!

I'm sorry, that must be rough. I hope they figure it out soon!!

elizabethnseanny · March 2013

Aww, sorry for this roller coaster and I hope you get to eat soon! You will see your baby soon either way, yay!

That must be super frustrating even with the doctors all having your best interest at heart. Hope they can agree on a plan of action soon! T&P!

Good luck!! Keep us updated!

nessahm · March 2013

I'll be thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed everything goes as well as possible. Hopefully whatever collective decision your doctors make is the best for you and baby. Also, hopefully you get a meal soon! Keeping a pregnant lady from eating is crual and unusual punishment!

That sucks! Either way, hoping for a quick delivery and healthy baby!

MechanicMama1 · March 2013

Sorry or the headache and belly ache lol... Good luck and hope they can agree soon.

bumpuser2669861 · March 2013

Hope you get an answer one way or the other soon! And most importantly I hope you get food soon!!! Keep us posted!

Ugh, that's no fun. Sorry they're putting you through this roller coaster. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and hoping everything works out for you!

brevans02 · March 2013

Ack, that would be terribly frustrating! Sending prayers for a healthy baby and agreement between your doctors! (And that they let you eat.... Wink

)

Ugh, you must be so frustrated. Hopefully someone can give you some answers soon!

Oh good luck mama. I'm sure the doctors will come together and make the right decision for you and for baby.

One bright side to look at, is that you only have 2 weeks of this at the most! One of my closest friends had severe eclampsia at 24 weeks, and was put in the hospital on bedrest permanently... until she ended up delivering at 29 weeks.

One thing she kept telling me - watch out for back pain. she kept complaining about back pain, but figured it was just from being in bed all the time... turned out her liver (or was it kidney? i can't remember now) was failing.

Casie13 · March 2013

Wow. Sorry you aren't getting clear answers. Hopefully your Drs can come to some agreement soon so that you can move forward one way or another. T&P going your way. Hang in there, mama!

tondraluv · March 2013

I am so sorry you are going through this. Thank you for keeping us updated & I hope they come together & make a decision soon.

saintpaulJess · March 2013

Maybe you should have the deciding vote. Wink

Whatever happens, I hope you and baby stay healthy!

Yeah, I agree with this. This sounds really hard, but which doctors do you have more confidence in?
