Hi Y'all,<BR>Just a quick note before I get carried away, literally. I just got out of the hospital and wanted to let my friends know that I'm thinking of them. Please add my baby to your prayers. I went in for a check up last week and was sent to the hospital immediately and am now home on complete and utter bed rest, only allowed out of bed to go to bath room. I couldn't sleep so I took a few minutes to post this and hope I don't get caught by my H, who is seriously worried about this one.<BR>I guess I have full blown pre-eclampsia and it's not going to go away. They were talking about inducing me, though I'm only 34 weeks along. I'm generally more scared right now than I've EVER been.......It doesn't help being ordered to just lay there and think about it. I'm trying to put things in God's hands but that old devil is tempting me away........gotta stay strong right? So, please take a moment and pray for my unborn son, the child that means so much to me. Thanks I appreciate it! <P>------------------<BR>Chick's <BR>Bren<P>You won't see things until your ready to not be blind!

My SIL's sister had this with her baby. Though the baby was premature and they went through some rough times, the baby is now 4 years old and doing GREAT!<P>It is a scary situation, but having caught it early is in your favor!<P>My first child was a premie. I had a cyst on my overy (sp?)the size of a gratefruit and had to have surgery when I was 4 months pregnant. But she is her, 18 years old, graduating from High School, honor roll, band, ect ect.<P>Do take care of yourself. I will be praying and thinking about you!<BR>

Ok here's some advise from your friendly labor and delivery nurse.......STAY IN BED! I know it's soooo hard,but your little one is counting on you! Look out for those signs and symptoms your doctor told you about. Up to BR only,let someone else read the replies to your post to you! Get another 2 weeks on this pregnancy and things will be good! Prayers to you and the family! If you belong to a church, I bet there is a group of women who will be happy to cook for your family for a couple of weeks. We have a "care and concern" ministry that does this....really takes a load off of H.

chick's, <P>I don't have to tell you how serious Eclampsia is. Stay in bed. Do as the Doc says. This is a great time for your H to care for you and your unborn son. Don't give satan the foothold he's looking for. You're a strong lady. <P>We're praying for you.<P>SHA

Thanks to all of you and your prayers, I believe they may be working. H's moved the computer over to the bed tonight so I could sign on and get my e-mail. I can't tell you how much I believe in your prayers! <BR>I am glad to report that even though my blood pressure is still high, and the protein is still spilling out of me. The good news is that my amniotic fluid level is getting better, on a scale of 1-20 I was at a 5.5 (not good at all) <BR>Today when I was tested I was at 11! Praise the Lord! I now dream of this as coming out ok! Thank You again, and I am being VERY Good, even using the wheel chair to go to Doctor, as she suggested! I don't like being this inactive but I've learned some things with all of this, MY H really does love and care for me, no questions about that now. And this baby is important to both of us, more important than I realized that he thought. Thanks again<BR>Bren<P>------------------<BR>Chick's <BR>Bren<P>You won't see things until your ready to not be blind!
