My labs from today came back "OK". Still high in some areas but not terrible enough to do an emergency c-section or induce. I have 2 hurdles to get through today:
#1 - 24 hour urinalysis
#2 - Sonogram (weight check and fluid check)
If I fail one of the two hurdles -- they'll deliver the baby today via c-section. If I pass the two hurdles they'll send me home on bed rest. I will then have to go to the OBGYN on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for BP checks and cervical checks. As the doctor says, there "is no cure for this condition except delivery" so they want this baby out if my symptoms don't subside.
If I was dilated at all they'd just induce me now but I'm not. My cervix is still slammed shut so the baby is just not ready. I'm fine with a c-section as long as it's medically necessary. If not, and my symptoms are manageable by bed rest, I'd rather wait to see if I can deliver vaginally.
On the upside: My ankles look ROCKIN after all this laying around!
I'm feeling good. The baby has looked really good on all the fetal monitors.
Praise the Lord for Wireless Internet at Alexandria Hospital!
