32 weeks preeclampsia ?

Hello I've been hospitalized for three days now with protein in urine... And at first high blood pressure, I've been seeing specialist after specialist and no damn doctor can decide on what to do with me.. I've had the two steroid shots already and took magnesium... I'm also on antibiotics. My baby's ultrasound showed she weights 3lbs 9 oz.. Anyone with a similar experience ?   I'm freaking out.
My blood pressures now normal after magnesium came off.

Its really a waiting game when it comes to preeclampsia. Ive been dealing with all the symptoms since I was 28 weeks and im now 38 weeks. My ob practice has 10 different drs who all had different opinions on what should be done. So for 8 weeks it was a watching and waiting game of twice weekly sonos and non stress tests to be sure the baby was ok. I went into labor 2 days ago than it stopped. We thought I went into full blown preeclampsia the same night and I was admitted, they thought they were going to induce but everything went back to normal. Im scheduled to be induced now next week at 38 weeks. The biggest thing my drs are worried about is the blood pressure. They said the protein in the urine doesnt necessarily mean preeclampsia it could be infection ( like a uti) or its just normal for your liver to do that. I was put on bedrest almost 4 weeks ago which helped. You just have to relax and keep baby in as long as u can. U got the shots for babys lungs which are the biggest development issue at this point. Your being monitored and your bp came down which is good. Good luck and try to remain calm because worrying and stress is the last thing you need. ( :

I am totally in the same boat with you girl! Im 32 weeks also my baby is 4lbs 11 oz ive already been in and out of the hospital 3 times because of my blood pressure. Ive already taken the steroid shot when I was 28 weeks . And on top of that I have gestational diabetes. I have to see a specialist and a doctor every week and they want to induce me around 36 weeks.
