How bad is it..

So I went to my OB on Friday and my pressure was elevated 140/100, and they sent me down to a hospital an hr and a half away to be monitored for the second time in two weeks. Pressure is okay definitely lower here, but they did a urine sample and the technician said I had +1 protein in urine..how bad is this? I'm 35 weeks 1 day and i'm hoping to keep her longer if possible..delievery was mentioned as a possibility when I was admitted but I was hoping since pressures were okay I would be fine..

I personally don't know but don't be afraid to ask your nurses. They can't keep info from you as it's your body and your health.

I'm waiting for her to come in she's due any time to do another blood pressure and monitor the baby

Sounds like PIH (pregnancy induced hypertension, i had this) and it can escalate into pre-e quickly. I delivered my daughter at 37 weeks because of it.

It was a little different situation with my son I just had pre-term labor but i got the steroid shots and he was a 35 weeker. He's healthy.

Good luck momma!

Thanks I was hospitalized 2 weeks ago and got the steroid shots, they just took a pressure 144/88 so waiting to see what happens now nervous

I've been in your situation, both ways! I went into preterm with my son at 33 weeks and thats when I got the steroid shots. After two weeks of non stop - stopping labor 35 weeks he was just ready and we couldn't stop it.

The high BP is scary. My daughter was breech so I was going to have a c-section if she didn't flip and I had just found out the week before. All of a sudden I'm hospitalized with high BP and a few hours later having a baby.

I hope all is well and you and baby are healthy no matter what!
