well... went in for my normal check up and glucose test... high BP and high urine protein... low fluid and he's breach... local hospital sent me too Akron General in case he comes in the next 48 hours since they are better equipped to handle a 26 week birth.

scared but baby is doing very well still. heart rate is starting right about 155. 💙

not a fun post but I'd still love for positive thoughts and prayers. 💙💙 will keep you all updated

update#1

thank you all for the kind words and love sent our way. little man is still hanging out around 155 for a heart rate and I'm on my third bag of magnesium. tonight (4/6) at 9:30 they will be stopping my mag bag to see if my body will regulate on it's own. just feeling hot, fished, and tired from the medicine. I was just given my second round of steroids as precaution.

update#2

off of magnesium now for about 2 hours now! BP is staying in an okay range. I keep getting uncomfortable on my back and moving so it's upping it a little. little man is still doing well. little drops in his heart rate but when they readjust the monitor after I realise he's okay again. kicking like a bronc that's for sure. 🙄😂 got a video of his heart beat and you can hear him kicking at it. liquid restriction has been lifted thank goodness. I'm so thirsty! iv fluids are just NOT the same as drinking water!

having a test done for his chromosomes in the morning along with the now daily morning blood work they'll be doing while I'm in hospital.

our short term goal is to get him part the first 48 hrs (ends at 6pm 4/7) then try to make it two weeks then to four weeks. either way we need to at least get his weight up to 500grams for even the smallest breathing equipment to be useful if he should come this early. fingers are crossed but we are starting to get a little hopeful in here

UPDATE#3

at this point the doctor doesn't think he will get much bigger than he is. she told me that at this point, if I go into labor, have any symptoms of preeclampsia or if little man stops moving like normal then I am going to be taken into surgery for acsection to deliver. with him being in the 400gram range things are not looking good. I have a high chance of losing him during pregnancy or after delivery. all positive thoughts and prayers are needed...

well my BP is steady but not as low as we'd all like. but it's something! his heart rate is staying steady between the 150s and 160s. I think I may have to start telling friends and family only one visitor peer day. send like everyone wants to visit so I can't rest as much as I would. I love their support but I need rest over their constant hugs and hand holding. I'm sure they'll understand though.
