Need support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My pressures crept up over night, last one was 155/90 in hospital since Friday, protein in urine, and swollen so the dr came in and said she thinks today is the day they'll be taking her and not to eat or drink anything...scared....hoping Natalie will not need any NICU time but prepared for that just in case...I am 35 weeks 2 days now...need encouragement/thoughts/prayers ladies this is unexpected.

I'm 35 weeks also and i can only imagine how worried you must be but i'm sure your doctor is prepared and knows what is best. I'll pray for you and your little one. hugs!

Good luck hope everything goes well take care

Not trying to scare you, but be prepared for a bit of a hospital stay. They automatically keep babies under a certain weight (they do around here anyway). Wishing you all the best. I'm sure everything will be fine!

good luck and hope everything goes good but everything should be fine the doctors know what they are doing

Here it's 5 pds, My daughter stayed for a week and a half.

Good luck mama, it's scary but hang in there.

In the states it doesn't matter on the weight as long as they can maintain their weight and eat every feeding from a bottle or breast.they will however make sure u have a car seat right for use baby's weight

Saying prayers! I hope you can get some more time but thankful you have made it to at least 35 weeks! Stay strong momma!

Saying prayers for you hun! Did you get the steroids? Thet help a lot.

I was gonna mention the carseat also. We brought my daughter home at 4lbs 10oz and thankfully the carseat we had purchased started at 4 lbs!

My daughter was born at 35 weeks. She didn't need any NICU time at all. They just kept an eye on her for 24 hours in the nursery...and that was it. She only had a little trouble sucking but she quickly caught on. Each baby is different...but I honestly think yours will need little to no NICU time.

A friend if mine just had her little girl at 34 weeks.. She was 4 lbs and beautiful. She was breathing on her own and all. You will do just fine!

Update: Well after much debate they decided to try to wait it out until Friday when she is 36 weeks which is a relief to me because I want her to bake as long as she can, my pressure is still somewhat high but not as high as the original reading hanging out around 140/85, they told me I 100 percent have pre-eclampsia but it's a waiting game dr is hoping I make it until Friday and me too! Thanks for the support ladies

Will keep you in my prayers. I had two perfectly healthy 36 weekers. Neither required any NICU time. I didnt have steroid shots with either child.

Ive heard the steroid shots help the lungs a lot!
