Well I haven't been on here in a little while so I tought I would let everyone know whats going on. My appts. got switched to once a week like they normaly do once you are so far along, I really really liked my Dr.! But then I was getting horrible headaches and swelling and my blood pressure was really high. So we went to the Dr. and he said because of my moms history with eclampsia I was to go straight to labor and delivery. So I did and they had me do a 24 hour urine thiniy to check for protine. And they sent me home to wait for the results. Well I went back in the next night because I was having blerred vision and high blood pressure, the nurse told me it was in my head and I was taking my blood pressure to seriously...I was MAD! Well the called today to tell me I have eclampsia! And they switched my Dr. So I have another appt. tomorrow and they are saying they are going to talke Rylan By C-section next week. So thats how I have been how about everyone else?

I'm sorry to hear that. How far are you again? Are they going to try to induce you? Or are they going straight for a c-section?

I hope everything turns out okay! You'll certainly be in my thoughts! Good Luck!
