Pre-eclampsia

[mommy2besoon]

I was diagnosed with mild pre-eclampsia 2 weeks ago and have been in the hospital ever since. When I first got pregnant my BP was 100/60. Now its average is about 140/80. My 3rd 24 hr urine came back today and the protein 24hr was 968.
I'll be 37wks tomorrow. I'm trying to figure out what its going to take for them to just deliver me. I'm so sick of being in the hospital. I feel like I'll be pregnant forever. What is everyone's experience with Preeclampsia?

well i also had preclampsia at 36wks and got induced that day in the evening and had my baby the next morning. they say its not good too wait that long. it can harm u and the baby. they told me that if i didnt have the baby in 24hrs they were gona do a c-section. i would tell them too induce u right away. ur already 37wks waits the wait???

They did one amnio last wk and werent happy with the results so that's why i am still waiting. He said he would do another amnio Tuesday unless I got worse before then.

I would think that they'd probably start talking induction within days. If not, bring it up! After 37 weeks you'll be considered full term. They'll most likely do a sonogram to check on baby and check their lung condition to see if they are mature enough for birth.
