Being Induced at 37 weeks for pre-eclampsia

Kelsea

Have had a few high BPs at home and a little swelling in hands and feet for the past couple weeks. Some protein in my urine but Dr was not concerned. Yesterday after clinicals my legs were so swollen from the knee down they were hard as rocks, I knew something wasn't right. Called my Dr's office and they said that my pre-eclampsia labs from 3 days ago did not indicate pre-eclampsia so to go home and drink water and rest. I asked if I could just come in and have them look at my legs and take my BP. BP was 160/100 and they agreed my swelling had gotten bad since the 3 days before when they had seen me. Immediately got admitted to the hospital at 36 weeks and 4 days. I'll be 37 weeks on friday and they are gonna start inducing me at midnight! 🤯
