Really Really Nervous...

[PinkPokaDots]

Well ladies... I'm 23 weeks today. I also saw my OB this morning.
They are officially diagnosing me with preeclampsia with this pregnancy, I had it with my son as well, but not until 32 weeks. I had some bad labs done last week..
The plan from here, as far as I know:
Probably getting steroid shots at 24 weeks to help her lungs grow in case of very early delivery.
Have to see the high risk OB at least once a week.
Starting twice weekly non-stress test monitoring at either 25-28 weeks, with a weekly ultrasound to check fluids.
I am being referred to Sacred Heart Children's Hospital an hour away (the closest one to me with a level 3 NICU), I will be meeting their perinatal team and doing monthly, or biweekly growth ultrasounds.
And just generally being closely monitored, if they are uncomfortable at any point with my blood pressure or anything, I will immediately be sent to Sacred Heart to be inpatient until induction/ delivery.
They are briefing my case tomorrow at their high risk meeting, so ill know more at my apt next week about what the plans are.
I am SOOO scared of having a micro preemie... my son was a 34 week preemie, and he did really well and was only in the NICU one week. There is a very good chance this little girl is going to be so so much earlier than he was... and I'm so scared
Keep us in your prayers... and hope my preeclampsia doesn't get so bad that I need immediate delivery for awhile yet..

Pink I remember you! I'm so sorry you're all facing this. I am wishing so hard that baby gets to stay inside for as long as she needs. I'm glad they're looking after you both so carefully. Sending you strength and love
