I Look Like a Balloon !!

Omg.. I am just noticing how swollen my hands and feet and face have gotten. Last week while looking at my chart my doctor said they found a little bit of protein in my urine but she wasnt to concerned because I wasnt swollen and my blood preasure was normal. Yet today im walking around looking like a freaking blow up doll that got left in a hot car !!! I go to the doctor tommorw so keep ur fingers crossed for me and hopefully its nothing to be worried about.

I went to the doc yesterday and I got in trouble... She said next time that happens I need to go in to the hospital and not just put it off like I did. My doc. Told me that if it happens again and dosent go down right away then I need to go into the hospital. I am still a little swollen but my doc said my blood preasure is ok and normal.
I am still only 2 cm dialated and still 20% effaced ( still thick ). She is still telling me tho that it could be any day now. I lost my mucus plug last week and the contractions have been spontanious and random.
I go back next thursady if I last that long. I cant wait till little casey is here. Casey sr. Is coming down here within the week so he'll be able to make it for the birth if I last that long. Hehehe !!
I'll keep u guys updated !

Make sure you listen to your doctor's advice. Because if you just knock it off as late pregnancy symptoms and don't go and get the care you need it could progress.

I had the same thing as sandra...However they didn't call it .H.E.L.L.P .Syndrome. I have sever pre-eclamcia that turned to eclamcia. And if I didnt' didn't go to the hospital when I did....I problibly wouldn't be around today because of the seizures and the low blood count.

If your worried about anything at this point call your doctor if you don't want to go to the hospital right away. Let her be the one to tell you to stay home or go to labor and delivery.
