Hey..

Hey

Thought i would update everyone to what has happened over weekend.. as ive had so many messages asking what went off etc.

I went in Friday about 9.30pm to the hospital as baby had been quiet alday (not like her at all!). Baby was fine but my BP wasent. (159/110) I have had a really easy pregnancy this time around & my BP has been spot on unlike how it was with Olivia (i got pre eclampsia with Livvy). So they checked my urine which had 2+ protien (not had any protien in this pregnancy) & took my bloods & admitted me to the ward by 10pm.
They put a canula in my wrist, gave me some BP tablets & wanted to put a catheter in my bladder but i refused! They also limted the amount of fluid i could drink & had to write down how much i was drinking each hour but no more than 85mls. Then i had to wee in a pot so the MW could measure what was coming out. She said they did this cos when your BPs high your kidneys & liver wouldnt be able to cope with too much fluid.
She then started a 24hr urine collection at 4am.

I got my blood results around 12am & the uric acid was at a normal level so i didnt have PE.

Doctor wanted me in for 24hrs with 24hrs of good BP results.

Sunday morning & my BP had gone up again to 158/100 so i had to stay in. Had more bloods took. They then set me up with regular BP tablets which started to stabilise my BP.

Sunday night i asked to speak to my doctor & she agreed i could go home with BP tablets & to come back the next day to check they were working.

Went in Monday & my BP is staying just below 140/90 which is good. Baby seems happy too & back in Thurs for same checks.

Today i had my 38wk MW appt. My BPs staying the same, protien +1 but my fundal height hasent grown. Im still measuring 36wks so the MW was concerened. She thinks cos of this high BP that my placenta is stopping working & baby isnt getting everything it needs. So she rung for a second opinion & they want me back in tomorrow morning for more checks etc.

Its been a mad few days!! I feel like total dog poo with the tablets as they are making me very drowsy so im struggling to run around after Livvy. I cant go no where as i darent drive.

I suppose theres not long left now. Livvy came at 38wks just hope this baby decides to do the same!!

Thanks for all the lovely messages on FB, so nice to know people are thinking of us.

Love Stacey, Olivia 19mths & 38+1 pink bump
