My little preemie to my 11 month old healthy baby girlš
My daughter is now 11 months old and couldnāt be happier! My pregnancy was going perfect as can be, until I started feeling off! I went to my OB and told her something just didnāt feel right and I wanted her to check for EVERYTHING! You see, before I was pregnant with my daughter I had a miscarriage so with this pregnancy I was being EXTRA careful! She then realized when she took my blood pressure it was HORRIBLY high. She went me to the emergency hospital right across the street and they took my protein level in my urine and it was a horrible 1200, which is not normal. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and then realest from the hospital on moderate bed rest. The preeclampsia wasnāt getting bad enough for them to deliver early and my blood sugar stayed normal the whole time while in the hospital so I was able to go home! YAY! Then I had my baby shower 2 days later because I just KNEW I would go into labor early. At my 35 week appointment I went in and she checked to see if Iāve dilated or if anything has changed, and my OB looked up at me and said āWow, youāre already 3 cm dilated and 50% effacedā. I was in complete shock! She said women can go weeks being 3cm. But knowing my body I knew it would be sooner! Later that night I started having back contractions and I soaked in the tub! Went to bed that night feeling very strange. Next morning I was cleaning like a mad person and packing babies bags, making sure everything was ready just INCASE my beautiful daughter wanted to come at any moment! Soon enough, I was getting dressed and felt something go down my leg. MY WATER WAS BREAKING!!! I was so so nervous and excited. My mom came with me to the hospital since my husband was at work and they confirmed that my water had broken! The OB on site said itās normal for someone to have preeclampsia that their water breaks on there own! I was in labor for 3 days straight and it was hard but my husband supported me the whole way through! Since she was born at 35+4 days she did have to stay in the NICU for 2 weeksš¢ But she has no health problems at all and she is such a happy and joyful 11 month old baby girl!
