Update - Hospital Stay

True_Texan posted:
Well, I had what was supposed to be a routine Dr appointment yesterday morning that turned into an overnight stay in L&D. My blood pressure has been high for the last month and yesterday they found protein in my urine so the Dr sent me to the hospital for more tests and monitoring. Baby is doing great, but the Dr diagnosed me with mild pre-eclampsia and will be scheduling me for delivery next Thursday when I hit 37 weeks. It will probably have to be a c-section since my little girl is quite happy in the breech position and shows no desire to turn around. He said I should get to go home here in just a few hours but that he'll be seeing me everyday until Thursday. I guess my little girl is going to be a July baby!

I'm so sorry to hear that you have been in the hossy and have pre-e. It sounds like your doc is keeping a really close eye on you, which is a good thing. I'm sorry that you have to deliver early, but I really hope that everything goes well for you. Best wishes!!!
