36 weeks UPDATE

Nikollete

Just got diagnosed with preeclampsia last week. Going in for my first NST tomorrow and having a growth ultrasound done on Wednesday. Preeclampsia was my biggest fear throughout my pregnancy and it has come to pass. My blood pressure isnt "high" but its higher than my baseline of 100-110/60 at 120/76. I have all the other symptoms, headache, severe swelling, ect. I'm afraid of having another induction (had one with my first 8 years ago) but I definitely want to avoid a cesarean completely. I dont know how to deal with the feelings and the anxiety of being forced to be ready much earlier than expected.

**UPDATE**36+3

At my first NST, they decided that the best course of action would be to induce me at 37 weeks. We have an appointment and growth ultrasound today and another NST tomorrow. So baby will be here 3 weeks early and I am so anxious now.
