Matheson started at Primrose this week, so all my appointments have been made on those days, so that Nick can attend doctor appointments with me.
Sure enough, my blood pressure was high and I needed to go to the hospital's Maternal Fetal Monitoring center to have blood work, urine analysis and serial BP checks done. We were there for about 2 hours and my BP was normal; however, the protein in my urine jumped from 290 two weeks prior to 380. This is very high. Dr Kelly had me also do a 24hr urine collection that same day. I do not have those results yet.
Pre-eclampsia has returned. If my BP gets higher, I can be put on BP medication again and my OB stated she can watch the protein in my urine to a point. However, if my liver enzymes elevate, she will have no choice, but to induce me early. Best case scenario, we are still hoping to make it to 37 weeks, but if not, 32-34 is the best option for Elle.
I am on a week by week basis as of right now. It becomes a delicate balance of keeping me safe and letting baby girl develop more before delivery.
