Prayers needed. :::UPDATE:::

posted 3rd Nov
So I went to my Dr's appt yesterday, was just expecting a normal appt. Nurse took my blood pressure and it was 165/101.  
This is the highest it has been this pregnancy, I started having BP problems last week. I also mentioned to the Dr. I was having vision disturbances and dizziness still.
Dr. sent me straight to L&D for 24 hour observation and complete work up. I got to the hospital and my BP was still elevated, so they admitted me and gave me a dose of Procardia. I had a severe reaction to the Procardia and my pulse/heartrate shot up to the 150's and the baby's went to the 180's. They sent the cardiology tech in my room to do an EKG and it was still high. It eventually went down thank God.
They did an ultrasound and baby looks good, measuring in at 5 pounds 1 ounce already, which is about 2 weeks ahead. They are doinga 24 hour urine collection for protein levels, since my initial specimen showed protein in my urine.
I finally went to sleep at midnight and 3 nurses came rushing in the room at 4:30 AM with an oxygen mask for me and flipped me all over because of deccelerations of the baby's heartrate It has happened twice since then. My hands and legs are also tingling so they sent a Cardiologist in to see me just now and he will be doing an ultrasound of my heart.
The Dr. will not allow me to get any more Procardia or terbutaline because of my reactions, so now it is a wait and see thing. I should have more answers my noon and I am also contracting.
I am only 33 weeks 3 days and have been told there is a chance of her being delivered early if this is indeed pre-eclampsia as they suspect. I want her in here a few more weeks. Prayers needed Thank you.
ETA: I also received the steroids shots yesterday and this morning just in case.....

I had my son at 33 weeks 6 days due to pre-eclampsia, and he was perfect. Exactly 5lbs (on the ultrasound they told me he was measuring small at a little under 4lbs!), 19 inches, spent all of an hour in the NICU, and besides a few complications at home (not gaining weight right away and blood sugar was screwy for a couple weeks) he was fine, and still is. Good luck Mama! I hope he stays in for you, but if not, I hope this puts your mind at ease a little bit!

ETA: I had NO sterroid shots either!

Prayers to you hun!
That is so scary, my lo was delivered at 33 weeks due to Pre-E as well. Thankfully, he is fine after a stay in the NICU (I did not get the steriod shots).
I hope you and your lo have a safe, healthy delivery, (((hugs)))

Yeah I'm hoping that will help her. The Dr. seemed pleased with her size...
