We are NOT ready yet!!

June 17, 2007 by DreA.

Well it has been quite a week. I went in for a routing OB appt and was sent over to Labor and Delivery for some monitoring, because of high blood pressure. Once I got there, it was discovered that my blood pressure was not going down. I was then admitted and told that I would be there until delivery. YUCK!!! I was moved to my room and there I sat, contemplating if this was something I was going to actually be able to do. I was so bored, and it had only been 2 days. Well, after 4 days of not being able to control my BP….they loaded me up at 2am and shipped me off to a different hosipital with a better NICU. I was told it was just for further testing and if by chance I delivered before 34 weeks they would be better equiped for my baby. Once we got there, my BP was so high it scared the Dr I think. Luckily my mother was with me, otherwise I think I would have just lost it.(Rob had to work) Within 30 minutes of being at the new hospital, I was told not to eat or drink, because I would most likely be having a baby. HOLY COW! I was now in tears….mainly in fear. I was not ready to hear that. First of all, they told me NOT to call Rob….I was just going for monitoring…..Second, WE ARE NOT READY YET! As the day went on, more test were done and they found that the baby was doing great, my blood test were normal, we just need to figure out how to control the BP. Well it only took 3 days. 3 days of odd roomates and no sleep.(so much for bedrest) With much prayer, my BP was regulated and they asked if I wanted to go home…HECK YEAH! I want to go home! So here I sit, I am going back to LD today for a non-stress test for the baby. I am a little nervous, I am scared they are going to make me stay again. I will update later! Say a prayer that I will be back!
