I typed an entire post and lost it all
So I was admitted to Pretoria East hospital yesterday, diagnosed with pre-eclampsia. Although my BP is consered normal the excessive protein in urine and edema is very bad. I am currently 35 weeks and 3days.
Mr dr and I are on the same page thankfully. Baby Noah and I are safe and stable. We will push to get to 37weeks, maybe even 38 weeks before we deliver. Well thats if he doesn't decide to come before then.... i hope he stays put. He is healthy and weighing 2.6kg. Yesterday I got a steroid injection to mature his lungs and will be getting another tonight. I am on bed rest, wearing compression socks and getting daily clexhane injections now for DVT.
My dr is not pressurising me into a csec and says we can discuss my options when the time comes. She is willing to induce so that I can have a vag delivery.
So for now I am in hospital until Noah is born. A bit bummed that I am missing my eldest's first day of grade 2. At least my hubby and great Aunt can manage the school run and household until things normalise. Well that is whatever normal is when Noah comes home too.
How is everybody else doing?
