Preeclampsia scare!! 33+4 weeks. Long story :)

[marzypan]

I had a preeclampsia scare on Saturday. For the last couple days I was feeling menstural like cramps but they usually went away during the day but when I woke up Saturday they were a bit worse and didn't go away. I was a bit concerned even though my doc on Wednesday didnt seem concerned.

My prenatal appts have always been good btw.

I finally decided to go into emergency where they checked my Bp and pulse which was a little high.

They decided to strap me up to a non stress test and my poor babies hb was up to 210!!! It went down to the 180-170s but that was still higher than it has ever been. By this time I was so worried as was my husband!

They did blood tests and urine tests after that which came back normal and the OB decided to keep me for 4 hours to monitor me. Everything eventually came down and they weren't sure why I was cramping or why everything was so high.

They did check my cervix which was closed too.

I am better now still puzzled at what happened there. But was I ever worried!!

Just to let you ladies know, if you ever feel anything doesn't feel right go get checked. It will put your mind at ease or catch anything scary like pre eclampsia or whatever else can happen.

I'm just super relieved that my baby is ok.
