Continuing the theme of this pregnancy Piper and I had more excitement this week. Do to my crazy blood pressure, I go weekly to the doctor for non-stress tests. On Tuesday I made my way to the labor and delivery ward and Pip WOULD NOT MOVE! So I was sent to radiology for a sonogram. Our sonogram came with seriously scary results and we were asked to make a doctor appointment for the next day.
The results left us concerned scared and with yet another appointment for more tests with a specialist in Jacksonville. We met with the specialist today. Turns out I may in fact be preeclamptic. For full details use google, but the bottom line is that my placenta might not be the best house for Piper and she might not be getting all the nutrients she needs from me.
My doctors thought this might be the case a few weeks ago, but after blood work and urine tests it was ruled out. I also haven't gained excessive weight and have no swelling. I am currently undergoing more blood and urine tests. I have been told to take it easy and watch my blood pressure.
So for now we wait. We pray. And we hope. I am 4 weeks from my due date. In one week Pip will be full term. If you have a moment, say a prayer of peace for our little family and a prayer of healing for Miss Pip.
