OMG! Might be induced this week!
I just got back from the dr. and he thinks I have preeclampsia. My BP was 146/110, there was protein in my urine and my face is a little swollen, especially my eyelids. I also gained 4 lbs this week and I have only gained 5 the entire pregnancy before this so he thinks it is water weight.
They did a ton of bloodowork and I have to go back on Wed. to get checked! I am so nervous, but he did a sono and everything looks great with the baby--measuring a little over 7lbs. So, now I am home til Wed. I am not on bedrest but he really wants me to take it easy, so I am on the couch with a book and LIF!

I had horrible m/s in the beginning and didn't gain any weight til about 32 weeks or so. But, I had some weight to spare to begin with and the dr.'s have been OK with me not gaining weight because the baby is growing well. They actually said that aside from the m/s I also didn't gain weight because of the increased metabolism with pregnancy. It's not the norm but he said it happens a lot when women are plus size before pregnancy.

Re: OMG! Might be induced this week!
Thanks everyone!!
I've been resting all afternoon! It's funny how I seem to always want to sit down and rest and then now that I am trying to, I keep thinking of things to get up and do! I put a pen and paper next to me to make a list!
I am not so nervous anymore now that I have read about pre-eclampsia and see how many people had it.
