My Doc Appointment,scary And Shocking
Posted: 07-13-04 20:14pm

Well we go to the doc and first thing they do is check ur blood pressure..Well they did that and mine was really high so they checked my urine right away and I have protein in my urine. She said I had the choice to either behave at home on stricly(sp?) bedrest or shell admit me into the hospital the rest of my pregnancy. So im on bedrest the rest of my pregnancy. I have to do a 24hour urine sample thing and go back on tuesday they are really worried about me. We get a ultrasound to see how the baby looks and if she weights enough because the doc wouldnt be suprised if I go into labor in two weeks. She checked my cervix and its really really thin and thats not normal for how far along I am, but the babies head was (caps) right there and she could feel mackenzie's head. She said if I have mackenzie in two weeks that she would be fine but have to be on an incubator(sp?) for a week. So probably next week when I go back(tuesday) if im dialated a bit shell admit me into the hospital, most likely so they can keep an eye on me. She was gonna put me in the hospital today I said no lol. I hate hospitals. But im just lettin yall know that lil mackenzie is gonna be here (caps) soon!!!!! Most likely in the next week or so thats what the doc said. But ill be back on to finish tellin yall stuff I gotta go rest, ryan says. O yea I was also having contractions every two hours today so yea just wanted to add that.

Yea stay in bed for sure~ I thought she said the next 2 weeks? Im hoping she wont come for at least 3! U never know tho! But alot of time they say u have a lot less time then ya do especially in first pregnancies.. Like they told me they thought I wouldve already gone by now, but nope, still nothin~ so hopefully she will cook a little longer so she doesnt have to be on an incubator so just stay in bed to keep her healthy*

Heather please be careful! If you have any new symptoms report them to your Dr. Asap! What you have is pre-eclampsia and you do not want that to turn into eclampsia especially before she is born. I hope everything stays ok. I'll be praying for you!


Love ya!

Thanks ladies, well I havent done anything since I got home from the doc except for a car ride to get fresh air(she said it was ok) and my ankle hurts really bad and is swallon. Hopefully when I call the doc tomorrow itll be gone but if its not ill let her know. I just thought it was really freaky how when she checked my cervix she could feel mackenzie's head! I was like what?!? So she said I could go within next week or the following so she said the longer the better but after my two week limit shes not gonna stop labor because it would be dangerous to me. I mean she already wants me in the hospital but I said no, im sure if she finds more on tuesday shell send me in.

Goodluck! They could feel garretts head too last time I went. But my doctor said at that point its hard to say, even tho he could feel the head, they said the babys could take their sweet time and wait another 3 or 4 weeks. So hopefully that will be the case with u! How many weeks r u again? 32? Hopefully u'll make it to at least 35 weeks which I think ya can~ but goodluck and rest rest rest! It'll be here b4 ya know it~ time starts flyin! I only got 8 more days till they induce me if he doesnt come b4!

Lol jen ur funny. Just give me a call u know the number or send me an email or something. You dont have to send anything for me unless you wanna Wink lol. My mom is determined im gonna have her on the baby shower, next weekend lol. She is nuts if she thinks im gonna go that soon. By the way my mom has (caps) no idea about what happened yesturday at the doc!!! She cant know otherwise she'll make me go home. Yes kari im 32 weeks 33 on friday Smile hopefully she can stay in there just a lil while longer but ive been having more symptoms of this pre stuff and they arent going away so we'll see what happens on tuesday. I get my ultrasound then also so I get to see lil mackenzie one last time before she comes. They want to redue my blood work on tuesday. Yesturday they did blood work and the stupid lady must have messed up because my arm is puffy were she did it and all bruised. But im gonna go lay down again I dont feel good today and ryan will yell if I dont rest lol

I will dont worry, if I dont ryan will be on my a$$ 24/7 til I do. I have this really weird feeling on tuesday when I go back they are gonna admit me into the hospital because they are sending me to the hospital for the ultrasound...Yesturday before we went to the doc I was scared to go and didnt know why and ryan had a bad feeling too and then we found out this news..So maybe these vibes im gettin now about tuesday will hopefully turn around and be good news.

Definatly get in that bed.. Don't get up except for small intervals, and just going to the bathroom. Toxima in pregnancy is very very dangerous... My friend just gave birth to her third and she had toxima and he was in the nicu for a while on oxygen and what not... Definatlly need to keep your blood pressure down and baby in utero for alittle bit longer

Lol I went into bed but I couldnt get comfy because I was really hot and my headache would (caps) not go away worth of anything. Ive takin tylenol already twice today and it didnt help and yesturday I took 4 tylenols(at different times)yesturday and its still not gone. So it sucks butt, since ryan is home now from work he is gonna take care of me but its time for a shower. Ill be back on later.
Love yall
