Disappointed

Rate this Entry
Yesterday was supposed to be my meeting with the neonatalogist and tour of the NICU. However, apparently the doctor got sick and had to go to the doctor...so they had to reschedule. Now it is next Tuesday, ( a week from today) and I'm so wishing we had already gotten it done with. I have been have much worse contractions and pains in general since Thursday and I wasn't exactly sure I was going to make it through the weekend. I remember feeling bored and nervous and excited and impatient with my son at this time, but now I'm feeling a sense of urgency as well. My swelling has gotten quite bad as well. To the point the doctor is a bit concerned about it now. My weight is holding fairly steady and my blood pressure is still good but I had trouble after delivering my son and showed no signs of ecclampsia during that pregnancy and yet wound up having a seizure from it. I am still working since no one has told me to stop yet. And Delaney is still doing wonderfully. I go to my regular OB tomorrow and then back to the specialist Thursday. So maybe I can get more information then. But I'm getting worried.

    Praying for Delaney and you. I am so sorry you were not able to get the tour of the NICU and meet the neonatologist, but better to avoid getting sick though right before delivery.

    The swelling is no fun. The best thing to do is too put your feet up and elevate them some when you can. Hope your appts. all go well this week and Delaney keeps going strong.

    Are they checking your blood?? Checking liver levels, etc? This can cause you to seize..My liver levels started becoming elevated.

    Keep us posted, I've been thinking about you!
