Back in the hospital for me...

Had my routine appointment yesterday, at 29 + 5 and my bp was very high - 173/110.  It wouldn't come down so I was sent to L&D for another admit.

Course of action was miserable, but successful...
  • Magnesium drip for 16 hours to prevent stroke / seizure
  • IV fluids
  • Labetalol IV
  • Strict bed rest (with catheter - yuck)
  • 24 hour urine collection
  • 24 hour monitoring of Emerson (she's perfect)
Results of my urine test were 215, so less than last time and still no pre-e.  They have added labetalol, 100mg twice/daily, to my protocol and I'm hoping it works.  Getting discharged now.

Back to the OB on 12/22 for a check in.  Praying my BP is under control.
