Pre-eclampsia, did you get it again?

[Beadette]

I'm on low dose aspirin as I think most people are prescribed during pregnancy. It's 75mg x

 

[Anniebobs]

I'm on 75mg too, I don't think you're allowed to take a proper dose of aspirin during pregnancy, just baby aspirin.

 

[rbourre]

Mine is 81 mg, that's what low dose is here.

I am having my baby tomorrow. I am going in tonight to get a Foley catheter inserted and then coming home. I go back tomorrow when they call me if the catheter doesn't start labour before then. Thankfully, I did not develop pre-eclampsia again, just pregnancy induced hypertension. I will take that over pre-eclampsia. Hopefully it goes away after the birth and I can get off Labetalol.

Hope it all goes well tomorrow rbourre, so exciting to know baby will be here soon! Great to hear you didn't get preeclampsia again, gives me hope.

Thanks. I'm still at home. I had the catheter inserted last night and had contractions every 2-5 minutes for a few hours but they went away. I'm still waiting for the hospital to call and let me know when to come in.

Oh I saw you had posted and thought we might be getting a baby update! Not long now. Why did they do the catheter and not the prostalglandin gel like cervidil or something?

Has your PIH been medicated?

Hope things get moving for you today rbourre. You must be so excited to meet your baby now!

Just got access to the internet again to post an update. They had to do a catheter because of a previous c-section. I was on Labetalol for a week before delivery.

I finally got the call on Friday at 5:30 am to come in for my induction. They broke my water around 8:30, started syntocinon for contractions around 10 after deciding that I wasn't going to start contraction on my own. Baby's heart rate wasn't liking the contractions so they ended up lowering and then stopping the syntocinon. They were starting to talk about a possible c-section but decided to start syntocinon on a low dose to see if it would help me get to 10 cm. I was 10 cm shortly after, pushed for over an hour but I spiked a fever so they wanted baby out asap. They decided on either forceps or a c-section. We tried forceps and within 10 minutes at 9:35 pm, Hudson was born weighing 7lbs 3oz at 38+6 weeks. He's doing great, we came home this morning.
