My update 32 wk preg on strict bedrest due to preeclampsia
Hello all........Seeing as I have been taken out of work for the duration and am on bedrest/recliner rest and the TV, laptop and books are my new found friends i thought I'd check in and state what is up.
Having had sever swelling, high PC and wt gain of 7 POUNDS IN A FEW DAYS UNRELATED TO INCREASED FOOD (ALL EDEMA) I was hospitalized over weeken. Monitored me and baby who is well thank goodness, BP has come down as has swelling and wt gained all lost (fluid) since Sunday on bedrest. Apt with OBGYN went well yesterday still awaiting 24 hr urine to see if I am spilling protein and if it is preeclampsia or just PIH (preg induced hypertension) anywho...bedrest is challenging but I am going with it for safety of self and baby!
We hoep this conservative treatment will get me and baby safely to 36 weeks or more so they can induce I wont be going to 40 wk as delivery is the cure for the issue.
Keep me in thoughts and prayers please as if I have to deliver prior to 34 wk then off the Albany Med I and baby go as they do not do that early deliveries in Saratoga as NICU will be necessary!

Jamie,
Hang in there! It will be all worth it once you are holding your newborn child in your arms. I will be praying for you that the time goes quickly and that all goes well with the rest of the pregnancy and delivery.
Hugs,
Lisa

Oh sweetie! I'm so sorry to hear you are bed bound. I'm glad that your OBGYN is watching out for you and that you're doing what you need to do for you and babe. I'll be thinking of you and am wishing you the very very best.
Love and hugs,
Amy
