Doctor called to check on me and I told her that since last night I've been having some really bad heartburn and was having some trouble breathing, and couldn't sleep. She said she wants me back ASAP so we are on our way. We just had to pull over mid-post so I could throw up. Nerves? Prayers PLEASE!
So it turns out that the heartburn can actually be a sign of the pre-e getting worse and affecting your liver, which is why they had me come in for more labs and they've got the girls on the monitor and monitoring my blood pressure. It's elevated, but they just gave me procardia and said that the labs look fine and that if they can get my blood pressure down and to stay down, and the girls stay looking good, that I should be able to go home! FX!

I'm happy to hear this I was on Procardia, also. Hopefully your BP stays under control!

And here I am back at home. Legs are swollen, hard as a rock! But she said to keep them elevated and just keep checking my blood pressure and make sure it doesn't get back up. Thankfully the pre-e isn't any worse and I get to stay home for now!
Re: Back to L&D, but not by choice this time.
