Tomorrow marks two weeks on bedrest. At this point, I will just be happy when my baby boy is safely in my arms. My preeclampsia is getting worse, but certainly not bad enough for them to justify inducing labor before next week.
I am at 37 weeks 1 day, my doctors want me to be at least 38 weeks to ensure that baby's lungs are mature. Yesterday we tried to have an amnio to check for his lung development, but there wasn't enough space around the baby to poke through and extract fluid, so it was a no go.
I go back to the doctor tomorrow, maybe something will change, maybe I'll be dialating or my cervix will be cooperating and be ready to be induced.
The hardest part is my loss of freedom, people call me all day long to check on me, they won't let me leave the house on my own...it's driving me fucking crazy!! I know they are just concerned, but I feel like I need my space.
Come on baby...let's get moving! Come out and play.
