Re: Pregnant 5 years after...
My water broke the night before my c section!!! I never went into labor and they didn't wanna risk anything so I had my csection and Elliot was born! He was 8lbs 15oz!!! 21 inches! 7 pounds and 6 inches bigger than my daughter! He is now a week old!!
No preeclampsia!!!!!
My bp has stayed higher but they are still watching me! I can't believe I left the hospital at a normal time with my baby!!

Congratulations on making it to 37!! I am 29 tomorrow and still feel fine too, and it is totally surreal... I keep wondering is this what being pregnancy is like for everyone else??
. I am hoping you make it through this time with no eclampsia!!

It's so crazy I feel completely fine! I'm really hoping to just stay on the cusp and avoid it all together especially eclampsia again!

Re: Pregnant 5 years after...
37w is great!! Congrats! Sounds like those levels aren't officially pre-e yet, so that may be why they're waiting. Most recent guidelines say that once you have pre-e and are past 37w, they should take the baby. So keep a close eye on things. Hoping you make it to the 18th!
Mama to Logan Patrick (8/23/14-8/26/14) & Bryce Anthony (8/23/14-9/13/14), frateral twins born at 23w5d due to severe pre-e turning into HELLP.
Hoping for a rainbow in Sept '16.

Re: Pregnant 5 years after...
37 week checkup. BP was 131/78 and I have +1 protein. .. however they aren't worried. They scheduled my c section for 18th but I go back the 10th and we'll see from there. They just told me to keep my eye on myself... I'm confused
Re: Pregnant 5 years after...
I snuck the whole way to 39 weeks without incident. Good luck!
