Q: Update On How Ive Been Feeling

Well most of yall know im on complete bedrest for the rest of my pregnancy and if I dont behave on bedrest I get admitted into the hospital because of the toxima(i think thats what my doc said) from the pre-eclampsia. Well I woke up this morning having small contractions but nothin serious. We went outside so I can get some fresh air and it was sooo hot outside so ryan took me for a car ride to actually feel the breeze of the fresh air lol and I started having my contractions again so I made him take me home because I thought it was because of the heat. Im feelin a lil better now but I still have small tummy cramps. For the past two nights before bed, id just be layin there with my feet up etc. And id get sharp shooting stabbing pains going up my crotch area. I have a feeling that im dialated but we'll have to wait and see on tuesday. Ive also had a headache now for 3 days and I have been takin tylenol but it doesnt seem to be helping me. Mackenzie keeps dropping lower and lower each day so I have a feeling im not gonna make it to the two week mark that the doc wants me to reach. Ryan, myself and his family think they are gonna hold me at the hospital on tuesday when we go for the ultrasound. Because I have to go to my ob doc before I go to the hospital for the ultrasound. So we are packin a bag just in case if they say we have to stay there. Chanda will get a call if they make us stay at the hospital or if anything goes on before tuesday and she said she would post for us so yall know whats going on. Like I told chanda if im not on during the mornin,afternoon, or night then im in the hospital because somethin happened. Just so yall know.

Im tryin to keep her in there but I dont think she wants to stay in. Its gonna suck if they make me go into the hospital for the rest of my pregnancy since my baby shower is next saturday Sad

id miss my own shower. We'll see what happens on tuesday and what the doc says and see how good mackenzie looks in the ultrasound. Hopefully nothing happens before tuesday so pray that nothin happens. Thanks

Have you told your Dr. About the headache? Not to scare you but I had bad headaches right before I had the seizures. I think you should let your Dr. Know.

Tell ryan to get you a fan and open the window. Maybe that'll be enough fresh air to hold you over for the next couple of weeks.

Erin we dont have a window, our room is in the basement but we have a fan and its on all the time. Its alot cooler in the basement than the upstairs. Angie I did tell my doc on tuesday about my headache and she said if it continuous and contains naseuous(sp?) or dizzyness then I need to look out for it. I do feel sick with these continuous headache so I will let my doc know asap. I was layin down for a lil while before we leave for lamaze and now im really really hot and my stomach is shaped really weird and hurts when I move. I can walk but its uncomfortable so ryan is keepin an eye on me. Thank god the class is at a hospital incase if something happens. My stomach is bein really weird, yea I was havin the contractions today like I said but before I layed down it wasnt all weird lookin it was normal and now its round and then flat lookin and alot more pressure down there. But I gotta go ryan wants me to go upstairs to get water and then we gotta go. Ill be back in to check in after lamaze. Love yall!!

Active User, very eHealthy

Hey hun well I wish u luck! She probably will come early. .But u never know, u'd be surprised how long they can hang in there. My doctor thought I wouldve for sure went last week but hes still hangin in there and many people think they will go early for sure like my cousin and she ended up only a week early but they all thought for sure 4 weeks early. So dont worry she might hang in there longer, that way she wont have to stay at the hospital! I hope!

Yea I want her to stay in there a lil while longer but I cant control what happens lol. The reason why my doc is saying try to make it to the 2 week mark is because then she'll only have to be on the incubator for a week ta 2 week tops. But if my symptoms get worse with my pre-eclampsia they will have to induce me(if I dont reach the 2 weeks yet). Because the toximia will get worse and that isnt good for me. If I reach the 2 week mark she said they wont give me drugs to stop the labor and that it would be safe to have her. So we'll see what happens on tuesday.
