Well as some of you know I had been diagnosed with Pregnancy Induced Hypertension. Everything had been going fine, even at my last dr's appt my resting blood pressure was practically perfect at 122/88! But I gained 4 lbs in 5 days and I was beginning to swell. My doctor decided to order another 24 hr urine and to run some bloodwork all of which was completed yesterday. I got a nice wake up call from my doctor that I'll be going into the hospital at 6 tonight to begin induction! I guess my levels are in the preeclamptic stages and since I will be 39 weeks tomorrow they would rather not risk a 'wait and see'. This is my first and I am so nervous I could have a panic attack! My cervix wasn't exaclty favorable at my last appointment so the reason I'm going in tonight is to have some gel placed to help it along and then tomorrow we will begin pitocin. I'm afraid all of this will end in a csection considering my body doesn't seem to be ready. But csection or no csection all I want is a healthy baby!

Good luck! Will be thinking of you and keep us posted if you can. Can't wait to see the announcement the baby's here!
Thank you SO much for your story! It gives me some confidence that everything can go completely smoothly, which I'm sure it will no matter what!
Thank you, I'm very excited also! And if push came to shove I don't think I would be devestated with a csection I'm just nervous about the pain/recovery. I'll definitely keep you ladies updated! :)
Good luck, I hope everything goes smoothly. Sending you loads of quick and easy labor and delivery vibes!!!
Sorry to hear about your bp.
Good luck girly!
