Preeclampsia

My doctor has officially diagnosed me with mild preeclampsia at 33w. I’ve had consistent high BP readings for the past few weeks, and my 24 hour urine collection kit tested positive for higher than normal levels of protein.

Baby boy is healthy, growing, and getting enough oxygen according to an ultrasound and NST on Monday. I’ll be closely monitored on an out-patient basis and induced at 37 weeks around October 8 unless something changes for the worse.

Any mamas out there with positive pre-e stories to share? I’m most afraid I won’t realize in time if he starts to struggle in there, although I’m well-studied on all the symptoms and warning signs.
