ChuggingWater messaged me that she was having pre-e symptoms at her appointment this am so they decided to run labs. BP was back up. 24 hr urine catch. Again.
Then I got another message:
"Change of plans? My liver labs came back elevated. Headed to labor and delivery."

She is having some contractions (she has for awhile now) but they aren't making any progress. At her appointment this am she was 1 cm.
She was just told they are going to start magnesium sulfate.

I'll keep updating as I hear more! FYI her due date is Jan 6th so she is pretty close to 39 weeks.

**ETA: for anyone who read her FFC and might be wondering, she has DS1 with her today!!!!

UPDATE #1 at 1:20pm CST

"Both liver labs were elevated. Pre-e. P-gel when it gets ordered. Stays in for an hour. Will start magnesium sulfate BC of the labs. Then see where that is. Rupture waters after that. Then if necessary pitocin. He said 'a little behind the curve since we didn't catch it yesterday'."

UPDATE #2 at 8:30pm CST
"No change.  I'm hoping no pitocin for another few hours and to let me labor. Regular intense contractions.
Waiting to do more liver labs."  She let them break her water to avoid pitocin. Sadly no veiled birth after all.

Update #3 at 7:30am Saturday CST: I was so hoping to have more to report now for CW's sake but its still just a small update.
"More.labs in three ish hours. Concern is platelets with the combo of liver enzymes--- create a blood coagulation issue. Not good when birthing. Upped pitocin by two."

UPDATE #4: 11:48 CST:   HE"S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
