I've been on bed rest again for the last 2 days because my preeclampsia symptoms have come back. My doctor put me on BP meds in an attempt to keep me from having to be admitted back to the hospital. She doubled my dose of BP meds this morning and I just checked my BP and it was 140/100. Further checks have just been worse.
I know I'm going to have to go to the hospital again as soon as I call my doctor. I don't want to leave my son. I don't want this to be happening. But I also don't want to die. I'm hiding in our room crying while H is out entertaining the inlaws.
Big hugs. Send the family on their way and head in as soon as you can. Your health is first priority and the sooner you go, the sooner you will be back home with your sweet baby. I am so sorry you are experiencing this.

So many hugs and good thoughts! I know it would be hard to leave him but he needs a healthy mom most importantly. I hope the issues resolve themselves soon. Keep us updated of you can!
I'm in the hospital on magnesium sulfate again. I'm on the mother-baby floor because L&D/mother-baby and ICU are the only two places that can administer mag. They brought in a bassinet so my baby can stay with me and I'm so thankful he's here with me. The mag makes me feel like crap but my BPs are slowly coming down.
I'm glad the mag is helping and they are allowing the little one to stay with you. Hopefully your bp will stay within normal limits so you can go home.
Glad baby W is with you and keeping you company! Many thoughts and prayers that your numbers improve (for good) and you get to go home. So sorry you are having to deal with all this right now. Lots of ((hugs))
