So here is the reader's digest version. Started cramping Sunday night and throwing up, however I was in Savannah and without easy access to medical care, I did not go to the ER. Same thing started happening Monday night and this morning. Called the doctor and they sent me to OB Triage. Spend most of the day there. They were swamped in triage so I got a birthing suite which was cool. Rere took me and has been a wonderful friend.
First, the good news, the baby seems to be doing great. His heartbeat was great and he was very active.
I just got home from the hospital where I was poked, prodded, and monitored all day.
My blood pressure is still something of concern and they suspect it will continue to climb.
I am going back in tomorrow for a complete follow up with my doctor (the docs I saw today were not mine) and figure out what the next step is.
For now, all I know is that I need to take it easy tonight and try to get my BP regulated. I am going tp try pulling favors with friends and family to get as much help with the boys as possible. I have what is called Pregnancy Induced Hypertension. It is what is trying to cause me to go into premature labor, however there are a lot of things I can control to try to help that, so that is good news too
Doctor's really just want to do whatever necessary to have me hold on for 5-6 more weeks. Nurse said I need to cut back my work schedule if I can, or I will end up on full bed rest in a few weeks.
Thank you all for your help and prayers.
