AW: FX I'm nervous about my appointments this morning Updated 4pm

RedBaramid · September 2014

So I'm eating a bit of breakfast and then I have to drop off my latest deposit of 24 hr urine. My last one on Friday came back with results they really didn't like that shot up out of no where. Despite all my blood work coming back normal time after time my urine is showing way too much protein and my blood pressure is in the range of hypertension even when at complete rest. After I drop of the 24 hr I am to report in for another nonstress test. I've been warned I may not come home from that today if my results show anything worse than what they were at the end of last week. I am 38 +3 today according to my EDD. So far our LO has looked good through all of this, and she's even engaging and in the correct position, but I'm starting to get scared, and DH is not handling this well at all.. We could really use some extra good vibes. If I get admitted today I don't do mobile (I hate smart phones :P) so this will be the last I'm seen around these parts until they let me deliver and come home, unless SIL wants to let me borrow her laptop while I'm on lock down :P.

FX they let me come home back on bed rest or they just induce me today (even better, things come back NORMAL..) because I'd go crazy if I ended up in the hospital and couldn't even keep up with you guys and the silly crazy that happens around here. It's super comforting to not feel alone and see and hear about what you guys are going through.

Update: I'm home! I got to come home, I'm on bed rest. My lab work came back and they officially saddled me with Pre-E. They are comfortable enough with my lab work to let me go until Sunday when according to them I officially hit 39 weeks. Sunday at 5pm CST I go in and start my induction. I'm sad that it's coming down to this but my midwife hugged me at my appointment and told me to think happy thoughts and that maybe my water would break on it's own before then. She also said that Sunday evening leaves plenty of time for me to dilate further on my own (still only a fingertip) and that she was happy to report that my cervix is very very soft. She is very confident that I'll face induction like a champion.

It really meant a lot to me to come home to all the well wishes and thoughts and fingers crossed. My numbers came back SOOOO much better today than what they were. They were still not pretty, but any increase or even them remaining the same meant I was going to be induced today, and they dropped in a great way. I'm so glad I get to hang out with you ladies for a few more days before D-Day, and I can't wait to go meet our LO. With induction starting late Sunday evening that puts us in line for a Monday birth, and Monday is DH and I's 6 year anniversary. I'm taking this as a good sign. Thanks so much ladies!

@RedBaramid- Good luck! Sending you lots of good vibes that the 24 hr results are good and your LO passes the NST.

I am in the same boat NST wise. My dr keeps telling me if he fails another that we will go back into the hospital for monitoring. Im 38+5 and I straight up told my DH that if that is the case I am going to ask my dr to just induce me. Im not sitting around the hospital for 24 hrs only to go home for a week and have my baby next week :-)

Hope it all works out. Keep us updated when you can!

I hope your appointment went well.

I hope everything turns out fine. I had something similar happen last pregnancy. I went in for a routine NST which didn't look good. Got sent for a BPP. Failed and sent for a section. Hopefully you don't end up with that.

Hope we hear some good news from you soon!

mrsH1112 · September 2014

Great Update! Glad you got to go home and try and wait it out a few more days.

Hope you get lots of rest and that baby of yours makes some progress on its own before Sunday :-)

I am glad they were comfortable enough to send you home and that you have a few more days with LO inside! I hope you can get some rest and relaxation in the meantime. Wishing you the best!

Yay! I'm glad you get to go home for a few more days! Good luck with the induction on Sunday! I'll cross my fingers that baby will make an appearance before that.
