My situation was much worse, though. (I'm not trying to compare, but it does help to talk about!) Not only did I have hyperemesis gravidarum and was unable to function through my entire pregnancy, but I also had hypertension throughout. I was admitted to the hospital at 25 weeks for the duration of my pregnancy, and that ended up being only another 3 days. My BP had been 180/110, and then it climbed to 198/136. The protein levels in my urine were the highest my doctor had ever seen. I was due on October 20, 2014, but my daughter was born on July 11th (your son's birthday!) at 25 weeks, 4 days and was the size of a 23-weeker. She had stopped growing due to my pre-eclampsia. She spent 167 days in the NICU, many of them near death, and finally came home this past Christmas Eve.<br /><br />It took us 10 years to conceive her, and 9 years to conceive my first pregnancy, which we lost at 8 1/2 weeks. So I can commiserate with your miscarriage, as well. We won't be able to have anymore kids, but I'm holding my beautiful 9-month-old (not quite 6 months adjusted) right now, and she was worth it. :)Alishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00801646686346180436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-87132869677273997952010-02-03T19:29:33.150-06:002010-02-03T19:29:33.150-06:00i'll absolutely be praying for you and your pr...i'll absolutely be praying for you and your precious boy. relax, enjoy your time on the couch or in bed. get some rest and take it as a mini-blessing. you're such a great mommy already and your precious boy is so lucky to have you watching over him and praying for him.

I had pre-e so I know just how gross that 24-hour pee collection is :) My BP was normal through the whole pregnancy but spiked up at 37 weeks, which is when I had our healthy and beautiful baby girl. Hopefully the BP goes down, but if not, relax as much as you can. It seems like you've got nearly everything ready for the little guy, so now you just might meet him early! I don't think you could have picked a better verse than Proverbs 3:5-6, so comforting!

Nothing is more important than little Carlos and I know you recognize that and will do what it takes for him to cook a little longer. I hope that this was just a fluke and you can be back on your feet soon. FWIW, my sister had preeclampsia and everything turned out fine.

Thoughts like that always bring comfort to me :)<br /><br />I'm not too knowledgable about pre-clampsia but I have known a lot of girls who had this and each and every one of them delivered healthy, happy babies. It might be a bump in the road, but I think it would be a manageable bump in the road.
