Distractions on a stressful week.

I ended up being admitted to hospital yesterday, as my blood pressure was high, and kept rising for a number of hours until it was sitting at the 180/90 mark. There was also some protein present. After 6 hours and as they were just about to administer meds to drop my blood pressure it completely randomly dropped back to a completely normal reading, but there is still quite a bit of concern.

I'm home but with close supervision and follow up. It hasn't been said that this is pre eclampsia, but at this point they feel it may be a warning of pre pre-eclampsia.

I am so completely stressed but trying to stay calm as stress isn't going to help Bub, but at 19+3 it's scary to know I could be showing signs already.

Although I have known bub's sex for 8 weeks I hadn't actually made it public knowledge yet. So today as a positive distraction I made the announcement.

At this point he could make it to term with minimal issues, but there is a higher possibility than with general pregnancies that he will arrive earlier than planned.

I am just hoping right now that this was a once off and is nothing and won't show again, but counting the days to viability.

You are so loved already baby boy 💙
