Katie and Delila Update






So i went to the dr today and didnt get great news. Well i went in got my blood pressure checked and it is to high. then i told him some symptoms i have been having and they ALL relate to preeclamsia. so i have to do the 24 hour urine sample today and tomorrow! SUCKS!! so i am not positive what preeclamsia is but i will find out. anyways if that is the case that i do have preeclamsia it could result in a early delivery. maybe emergency c-section. whatever keeps Delila and myself healthy though is ok. BUT she is measuring at allmost 35 weeks where i am only 33 weeks. she that is good cause a lot of times the baby will be small in result of preeclmasia. but i need to be way intune with my body the dr said and if anything changes at all i have to call or go to labor and delivery right away. i thought i would share all this with you guys and i will keep everyone updated as well. love you!!!

First off...pre-eclampsia is when your blood pressure is so high you're spilling protein through your kidneys (because the blood flow rate is so high the kidney's can't keep up), it can cause some third space swelling of, most often, the hands and feet. Most likely your doctor won't induce you at 33 weeks... but you might have to go on bedrest. You can always email me if you questions.

oh whoa! Good luck baby Keele. I hope things go well for you, Katie! My old roommate ended up with pre-eclampsia and delivered 2 months early. Her baby is sooo small still (she's 1 but looks like she's 7 months). Since Delila is measuring big, I'm sure you'll do great. You're too cute! Good thing you have everything ready for her, right?
