Congrats! Lots of babies showing up now. Hope she is home soon.

Congratulations! Hope the baby is off cpap soon. Hope you can rest well in the hospital and get off the mag ASAP!

That would really make me crazy if the nurses wouldn't tell me my BP and if the Dr. treated me like I knew nothing! I do find that I have to ask for my protein results (usually trace)... I feel like my having the numbers is helpful in whether I worry when I have any other symptoms. My MFM policy is ...

That is great! I'm on your heels, and hoping to make it to 39/40 weeks. I have my 34 week appt Friday. My BP seems to be slowly creeping up (as in the bottom number is getting to 70 instead of staying in 60). I repeat my 24 hour urine next week, I feel like that number will be interesting to see (I ...

I'm at about the same point as you (will be 33 weeks on Friday). I'm not used to this 3rd trimester stuff either... I do get short of breath when I lay down. I'm also having trouble getting a good night's sleep. I've heard that lack of sleep can raise BP, so I want that sleep!! I do try to nap on da...

Yay! Hope all goes well for delivery!

I have the mthfr gene but no other disorders and don't have hypertension or anything. Can you find a MFM who will see you? Or perhaps your regular OB ca...

It doesn't hurt to ask them to run some labs or go by for a BP check in the office. My dr has said to call if either BP number goes up to that 140/90 level (ie if I get a 120/90 I'm supposed to call or a 140/80). Not sure what your dr has decided is an acceptable BP for you?

I'm in my 30th week of a second pregnancy. My first was HELLP at about 28 weeks, daughter was born 3 days after I was admitted to the hospital, and she is fine now (2.5 yrs old). With this pregnancy I'm seeing a MFM. I have zero trust in my old doctors, and feel they missed the onset of HELLP at an ...
