So much has happend so fast in the last 2 days my head is spinning!
So, my urine came back with a mild amount of protein in it (bad) but the baby came back from the sonogram a good size. So -- they've decided that instead of sending me home to just get sicker (higher BPs, more protein, higher levels of all the other labs) and risk a devastating health issue for me and the baby -- that they'd rather just deliver the baby now.
FINE BY ME!
They've been gracious enough to let me try to delivery vaginally. The cards are stacked against me though because A) my cervix didn't naturally dilate B) my baby is "sky high" in the birth canal C) I'm being induced. So all the stars will have to be aligned tomorrow for me to have a successful vaginal birth.
Worst case -- C-Section. At this point I don't care if they have to delivery by C-Section as long as it's medically necessary. I am happy that the doctors and nurses are letting me try to deliver vaginally. I feel somewhat bad that I'm forcing the baby out of it's warm womb so early ...(as I type this I'm hearing a lady next door deliver her baby and I'm getting more excited..) but at the same time I agree it doesn't make much sense to risk the complications of Preeclampsia.
Tomorrow morning I start with the pitocin. Then the hard stuff starts! I wonder how long it will take? Eons?
(Ok...now the lady screaming and crying in the next room is starting to freak me out.......maybe this baby can stay in there for a few more weeks???)
