Preeclampsia 26w5d

Chelsea

Sad to say baby boy will probably be born before the week is over I was admitted to my local women’s & children hospital Sunday night with a blood pressure of 191/108 & diagnosed with severe preeclampsia I had no signs & no high bp before that night besides some mild swelling in my legs & face I just went to a ob visit two weeks ago I had been feeling crappy pretty much the whole weekend but tried to chalk everything up to normal pregnancy uncomfortableness but I finally went to the hospital when I started having trouble breathing no matter how I laid and a super throbbing headache.

I’ve been in the hospital on a magnesium drip for three days now and while I’m doing fine and have gotten my blood pressure under control I’ve been told my placenta is not supporting baby enough. His heart rate keeps dipping & he is small for gestation hoping to keep him a few more days but the doctor is doubtful any kind words, prayers or happy endings for babies born so early are appreciated
