Update: *Here we go again

Monica

7th time in hospital since March 3rd. First 5 times were bc if preterm labor contractions. I'm 36+5 and as of 36 weeks I've had swelling to both feet and legs, left dose than right, with headaches all day everyday. Yesterday I checked my BP it was 200/140 I went to Walgreens to verify it was 143/105 45 minutes after I originally took it. Went to the hospital it was 2 hours later when they finally checked it it was normal. I had taken tylenol but still had headache. Was told they wanted to keep me over night but would only give tylenol I signed an AMA bc I can take tylenol at home plus they said my labs were all normal. When I said I wanted to leave them they said one test was slightly elevated. I left anyways. I went to my OB to follow up due to having another headache today and swelling she immediately sent me to another hospital that specializes in preeclampsia and has a NICU. I get here and still have a headache, blood pressure high, and babies heart rate elevated. I was told if I go into labor they will not stop it like they have for the last month. If I don't go into labor as long as baby heart rate comes back to normal I will be induced tomorrow. So my may 2nd baby will be here sooner. They put me on oxygen for baby and gave me fioricet and labetalol. So far so good. Hoping to meet my little one tomorrow.

Update*

Blood pressure is normal thanks to labetalol. Babies heart rate normal. Headaches gone thanks to fioricet. Had ultrasound done baby is developed just fine breast lung brain, was given the ok to induce at 37 weeks so tomorrow at 6am I get started on cervadil I'm currently 2cm 50% effaced. My 2nd princess will be here soon. Early birthday present. My birthday is April 14th.
