Baby Day TOMORROW!!!!!

[jenniz]

All sorts of feelings going on right now! Baby Samuel is coming into the world tomorrow. I am 38 weeks pregnant today and all signs are pointing to the fact (which I have been telling them for WEEKS, LOL) that the kid just has to come out! I am saddend by not getting my vbac (as I never plan on doing this again!), but have crossed beyond "just" HG sickness and have entered the preeclamsia world again. My blood pressure with the twins was never high, but it is uncontrolled, and has been for a week. It looked like last Monday was going to be the day, then they decided to try to keep him in for another week. I was SO disappointed. It was awful. But, he is coming to be with us tomorrow. I had this weekend to go into labor, it didn't happen...I am comfortable with him coming out...I made the choice earlier that I wasn't going to schedule a c-section because I wasn't comfortable taking him out before he was ready, but conditions are now even more hostile for him than with "just" the HG...(and for me as well! I can't wait to NOT have a headache!) So..I go in tomorrow morning. Just wanted to let y'all know. Please keep Baby Samuel in your prayers. His brothers (the twins) have a genetic disorder and there is a 1 in 4 chance Sam has it too...so it is just a matter of time before we know, but we are praying for NO SEIZURES! I SO want my baby to come home with me this time. Hugs to all, and thank you so much for always being there. You are all still in my prayers everyday.

Dear Jenni,
I am wishing you the best. I am so excited for you and Baby Samuel. Tomorrow! Wow!

Good luck tomorrow Jenniz,

Did you have seizures last time with HELLP? I am glad they are inducing you before the pre-e goes out of control. Take care and good luck!!!

Hey Kim,

No, I didn't have seizures with my HELLP. My boys have a metabolic disorder that causes neonatal (and throughout life) seizures. I have felt pretty awful all weekend, vomiting from the HG and in addition to that, the headaches (accompanied by their own brand of nausea), dizziness, swelling (pitting edema up to my knees!) and epigastric pain. They caught my HELLP so early last time (it was literally not there one day and there the next) that I didn't begin to feel sick from the HELLP, (Or the symptoms are so similar to HG that I just didn't know the difference) but this time...well, not quite so "lucky". I'm looking forward to getting Sam out and being able to take care of him. I feel like I've been starving him for 34 weeks! Hugs!

Jenni -

I've been out of town and just read your message! I realize you've probably had Baby Samuel for this whole week, but I just had to write. I hope all went well. Can't wait to hear about baby Samuel and how it all went!
