Last Thursday when I went for my 37 week appointment my blood pressure was higher than normal, the swelling in my feet was there all day/night, and I had gained 5 lbs in a week! That threw up some little red flags. Doctor suspected early signs of pre-eclampsia, so he had me stay home from work Friday & stay off my feet all weekend and we would see if things improved. Well went back in Monday and blood pressure was still up - so he sent me over to labor & delivery at the hospital to have further monitoring done. Thankfully my blood pressure went down so we were able to go home, but he went ahead & scheduled for me to be induced Friday morning. Since I've not dilated at all, they're having us coming in tonight @ 7 to give me cervidil which should soften/start opening my cervix. Then first thing in the morning I'll be checked and if I'm dilated they'll go ahead & break my water, and start pitocin. And then from then... we just wait for baby! Doctor said if he had to guess he thinks Kingston will be no more than 7 1/2 pounds. I hope he's right! I want him to fit into NB sizes!
Please keep us in your thoughts & prayers - God has seen us through this pregnancy with so many blessings, we know the delivery will be nothing different. Can't wait to introduce the world to Kingston tomorrow!
