24-2-2010 - preeclampsia n me (my 4 appts)

My mood while writing this blog: ready to just do it

---

well started the day off with 3 appts. first 2 went well. endocrinologist released me from her practice for 6 monthes because my diabetes is well under control with diet alone. here only recommendation was to 1.make sure i lose te baby weight 2.get my gestational test done earlier in my next pregnancy since i already knew i was gonna fail anyway.....so will be seeing her in 6 monthes. then i went n saw y dietician who is keeping me on as a email client....i email her my blood sugars twice a week and she makes necessary carb changes to my diet. wont need a followup with her until 6 weeks post pardum for a new nutrtion class. then we headed across the street to my ob/gyn. today i met with dr Roy for the first time since my reg ob had her baby yesterday (congrats dr kibler!) he is very nice and obviously read my chart beause he knew my history and my pregnancy woes....which unfortunately i have had a feww problems. did a regular appt. babys still breech. only new problem i had was my b/p is elevated at both appts......and my legs are very swollen....so i get a complimentary appointment back across the street at the hospital.......non stress test, more blood work and a 24 hour urine to start tomorrow.....babys heart rate looks good. but my b/p and bloodwork does not. my kidney liver and white blood cells are elevated. and i have been placed on bedrest......boooooooooo....now i will be having 2 nonstress tests a week plus a drs appt at my ob...every week. until i deliver....i wish i could just say alright guys lets just go ahead n take her out n solve all these problems. but i would like her to cook for at least 1 more week(making 36) and it this point its looking like a c-sect since shes convinced her head belongs under my ribcage....did get to see her face tho! shes got big cheeks like me :) well will know more on friday. hopefully ill have this baby soon cause pregnancy has run its course on me and its time to reclaim my old body and mind.

i had high blood pressure from 5 th month until the delivery.. i was very worried about preeclampsia...Resting will help. I delivered at 36 weeks 2 days. Good luck

Glad to see you are getting good care in the run up to delivery. Hope everything stays under control so that little 'un can bake for a little longer.
