Bp issues

So much for coasting to the end of my 40 weeks.

    What the hell. Not sure why this posted twice. And it cut off 95% of my damn post!

    I had my 35 week appt on tues. I had elevated bp and protein in my pee. The bp wasn't dramatically high. But combined with the protein they are concerned that I am headed into the early stages of pre-e.

    So now I am being monitored much more closely. We are taking this 1 week at a time. First goal make it to 36 weeks. Reasses at my appt on tues. If all looks stable aim for 37 weeks. I was really hoping to make it to my due date. Still am. But I will do whatever I have to to have a healthy baby.

    Going into my appt my only concern was if my baby was still breech or not. She finall flipped. But I may end up wit a c- section anyway.

    So hard to not worry about pretty much everything. I'll admit I went home and had a good cry. New worries. Just thankful I have great doctors and only 4 weeks or so left.

    Sorry to hear it.  Good luck with everything!

    Maybe you'll get some extra peeks at your LO with all the extra monitoring.

    This was my first pregnancy exactly. Ended up making it to 39 weeks getting induced. Went through trial of labor but ended with csection. I had ended up with severe pre-e and hellp post delivery. It's def not ideal but you'll get through and will still be all worth it in the end.

    Stalking from parenting >35. I'm sorry you're going through this. But consider this: no matter how you get there, you will still be holding a baby in your arms at the end of it all!
