  I am being watched like a hawk. I am currently laying at a passing NST waiting for one last lab number. Everything and baby look great!
  
  I have 2 appointments next week. One with my normal doctor and one with my high risk doctor for a growth scan.
  
  Taking my bp meds and holding baby in as long as possible.

  Being watched really close for pre e. High blood pressure here. Had a growth scan couple days ago. Baby looks great. It's just me having a hard time. Thoughts and prayers to all the moms like myself.

  @kjmommy1214 how many weeks are you now? (sorry if it's on your siggy, I'm on mobile and can't see siggy) Glad to hear everything looks great! And you're being closely monitored! That's reassuring!

  Extreme swelling, headaches, I do have shooting stars every once in a while. And I just turned 33 weeks today. LO is measuring 38 weeks and in the 98th percentile for my due date. It I keep having problems they aren't letting me go past 36 weeks. An amnio will be done to check the baby's lungs. So I'm just trying to hang in there!

  @wildflower75‌ I am 33 weeks today. All my labs came back good. One number was low, but is easily fixed with me eating more protein.

  Thanks for thinking of me, @wildflower75‌ --I was in the hospital yesterday cause my bp was high again, and no one seems to know why. I was getting measurements of 170/90ish. They've done blood work multiple times this week, and all my counts come back perfect. My urine is negative for protein. And I have no symptoms of high bp. If I hadn't had a drs appt on Tuesday we never would have known.
  
  For right now, they're calling it pregnancy induced hypertension, and sending me to a high risk dr. They're hoping just putting me on bp medicine will control it enough to get me to term. I'll see that dr on Tuesday and go from there! Here's hoping!!!

  @DisneyDee1984‌ sounds like you and I are in the same boat. I haven't been in for a follow up but my BP on Thursday was about that high. Labs all came back normal. So hoping BP meds will do the trick here too. Keep me posted on how you're doing!

  Just got out of my appt. Emmy looks great, plenty of fluid, measuring at 5 lbs, moving around perfectly. The MFM was very happy with her. With regards to me--my go to number looks like its 140/90ish. Because everything else looks great, the dr does not want to put me on bp meds right now. He wants to watch and see how I look, having me check in with my regular dr 1-2 times a week, and him once every 2-3 weeks. I'm so relieved that he thinks that because Emmy and me both look okay, and it's just high bp numbers, that we can ride this out at least a little bit longer and see where it goes. Woo hoo!

  I'm being closely monitored too. I'm checking my own BPs several times a day and checking my urine for protein every other day. I've been hovering right my MWs cut off for further intervention, but so far I'm ok.

  BP is remaining "high normal" and US today showed growth on track - 3lbs,11oz at exactly 31wks. Was advised today they will be scheduling to induce me on Nov 20th, unless my BP continues up, in which case they may decide to go sooner.

  What is your MW's cut off? I am pretty sure I am seeing my MW's today for high bp.

  Update from my appt this morning: BP is obviously still too high. She's starting me on methyldopa today to try to get it to a reasonable number (aiming for under 140/80). I'm 31 weeks but fundal height was measuring more like 29-30 so she scheduled an ultrasound for tomorrow morning to check on baby's growth. Hoping the meds do their thing and that this will just be a nice excuse to see our beautiful baby again before he/she comes out!

  @wildflower75 thank you! Just got home. Baby's head is measuring around 29 weeks but everything else is on track or ahead (femur measured 33! A tall kiddo?). The tech seemed like this wasn't anything to worry about but said my dr will look at all the other scans and compare to see how it's really doing. I'm okay with a smaller head when it comes time to push this baby out, but I hope its little brain is growing enough!
