Baby Update

Many of you may remember that I had pre-eclampsia with Parker & he was born by c-section about 2.5 weeks early. Well, in between my 2 pregnancies I was diagnosed with cronic hypertension (it runs in my family) so this whole pregnancy I have been considered "high-risk" & have been closely monitored for my blood pressure. Everything has been great the whole pregnancy until Wednesday when my blood pressure was pretty high. I kept checking it until Thursday morning when I decided to call my Doctor once her office opened, knowing that she would probably send me to the hospital. She did send me directly there to be monitored & once I got there my BP was normal, all blood work was normal...I am ready for baby to come but I knew that at least another week inside my belly was best for her, so we were thankful when the doctor sent me home.
Today I had an appt. with the specialist & the baby is on the small side, approximately 5lb.15oz. right now but that didn't concern the doctor too much. My BP was borderline today (higher than it was at the hospital) so I am of course supposed to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get too high. So because of all this, it looks like they are moving my c-section up to sometime between weeks 38 & 39, which begins just a week from tomorrow. Waiting for Dr. Soufi's scheduler to call me back to schedule it. I'll update the blog on the new date to expect baby Charlotte once I get word!
