1st at 35 weeks, 2nd at 39 weeks, and my 3rd at 27 weeks. the first 2 were inductions because of pre-e. the last baby was an emergancy c-section due to pre-e plus other problems.

with my first baby i developed it at 30 weeks, i was on hgospital bedrest until they induced me at 35 weeks. he was small, 5lbs 12oz, but he had no nicu stay or anything. my second baby was full term, but i got sent from the doctors office straight to L&D for an induction because the pre-e showed up pretty much over night. she was pretty small too for a full term baby, only 6lbs at birth. with my last baby i developed severe pre-e at around 23 weeks. put on bedrest ad had testing done every single day until they decided to do a emergancy csection at 27 weeks. she was measuring 29 by ultrasound though so that made their decision a little easier, they said she would have a better chance since she was measuring bigger. she was 2lbs 3oz at birth, spent 12 weeks in the NICU, but now she is a very happy healthy 9 month old.  

the first 2 they decided on inductions because of only pre-e, they said if my BP rose any higher then i could have a seizure. with my 3rd baby they had to deliver so early because of severe pre-e that they couldnt control with meds anymore, IUGR, and they thought she had down syndrome (but she didnt). sorry this comment is so long lol. hoping that you get good news today,

Not risking mine or my baby's life this time cause they tell me I'm fine but I have pre e they have totally confused me.. My kidney specialist is going too be pissed off they midwifes sent me home..

I had my first at 36 weeks due to pre-e. She was just fine, only a little jaundiced. I hope your baby stays in for a few more weeks!

well just trust your gut.. ive also been through the whole getting discahrged only for things to get more serious. it sucks. were they talking about medication for your BP? i had a BAD reaction to procardia, and so i had to take a very high dose of labetalol, and it made me feel like a zombie. but after a few weeks it stopped working, so they had to deliver.   i hope your urine test resuts come back good and that your able to keep your baby in for a few more weeks!!
