I just need some good vibes sent my way because I'm frustrated. I am now 29 weeks and was admitted yesterday morning due to high blood pressure and trace amounts of protein in my urine at my dr appointment. They kept me to do a 24 hour urine test. The doctor spoke to me briefly at about 11:00 am and said that if the results came back under 300 (don't know what the numbers represent) then she would put me on meds and keep a close eye on me and that if it was over 300 then "we would have to talk". So we didn't hear anything. When the nurse came in to do my second steroid shot for baby we asked if the results had returned and she said the number was 368. It's now 11:08 pm and I still haven't gotten to talk to the doctor even though I've asked three times. I'm just stressed out and frustrated because I literally have no idea what they want to do. Sorry for the rant. Just worried and frustrated. Does anyone know if these numbers are crazy high? I tried doing some research but it's all so over my head.

Im happy they caught it early for you too , that's a good thing! I guess a lot cases of this they don't know about until their numbers are already super high.
My doctor told me my first goal is 32 weeks, then 34, and she won't let me go past 37. I also got the steroid shots so they might give us a booster around 34 weeks.
Hang in there! I'm right there with you!!
Don't feel bad if you have a few breakdowns though! I lost it the other day because I spilled my tomato soup on my white shirt, and also just because I Googled and scared myself. Now I'm just trying to stay positive and counting each day as another good day that baby is growing!! We will have to keep in touch!
your way! Congratulations!!! I am sure she is just beautiful!

Keep going with the pumping! It will pay off - you're just in the thick of the battle right now! Every 3 hours for 20 minutes, you will get a supply. It doesn't always happen for everyone, but the NICU mamas who have the best supplies are the ones who are super consistent and pump on a good schedule. Definitely ask to see a LC and give yourself a huge amount of grace - you are doing an awesome thing!!
Prayers to you and your beautiful Hannah! I hope your new little family is able to grow and thrive!
