I just spoke to my ob. I am staying in the hospital until Monday at which time I will be induced. I am developing pre-e, but slowly, he does not feel the risk it worth it to send me home. He wants me here in the event things get worse quickly they can start an induction right away. The good news is I am allowed to leave each day for 4-5 hours on a day pass so I can go spend some time at home and get a little fresh air. This is not how I imagined this pregnancy to go but at least the end is in sight. I really wanted a May baby (mostly for party planning reasons, ha!) but a healthy baby is all I really want!

I'm so sorry, honey. You've been through the ringer. I know it's not the best situation, but you're doing everything you can to keep you and baby safe. And every single day in means more and more good things. So many hugs!

Ah that sucks. Sorry you're stuck there, but yay for day passes?
The day pass is what's making this all better! I'm hoping they will allow me to leave each day around 4, I can go home, eat a proper, edible meal, play with Daniel for a bit and put him to bed before I return!

I'm that's not what you wanted to hear, but thankful you will be monitored closely just in case. I hope these next few days fly by uneventful, wi the the exception of a beautiful baby making an appearance on Monday!
I just came on to see if you had updated! I'm sorry the news isn't great, but hopefully the time will pass quickly. Do you know if you are having a boy or a girl?

I'm sorry, that has to be tough. But sounds like they have a good plan for you. And I'm happy you're able to "escape" for a few hours every day til Monday. M was born at 37+6 and she was just fine, hoping the same for your little one. Will be thinking of you!
