We came into the hospital on Thursday with a headache and general icky feeling. Although there were some high blood pressure readings, they calmed down after some rest, and the OB triage doc sent us home. An appointment was already set for Friday morning and the doc said to just come back in the morning as scheduled.
Friday morning rolled around and the baby monitoring went great. The blood pressure not so great. When the nurse says you’re “just trying to show off” with the high numbers, it is definitely not a good thing!
After some additional discussion and analysis, it was decided to put in an IV to administer the blood pressure medicine. Oh, and by the way, we want to observe you for at least 36-48 hours. There goes the weekend plan for skydiving and whitewater rafting!
At this point, “baby Crack” is probably coming in the next week. Doctor Mac will keep her in as long as possible, but is making the plans. She received a steroid shot for lung development and the docs like to wait at least 48 hours after the shot to deliver. Rach is on a few different things to keep the BP and heart rate down, and baby is doing fine.
Oh, by the way little baby, you’re worth it. 🙂
Thanks for keeping us updated. Take good care of my Rach, Adam.
We are praying for you guys!!! I can only imagine hospital bed rest, but I’m thankful you are in excellent hands and that Baby Crack is doing so well.
Our family is sending prayers your way! Wishing both you and your baby girl good health!
I’ve been thinking about you guys alot lately, mostly trying to remember when you were due. Sending extra prayers to your family.
