My very rocky infertility & pregnancy struggle now has my arms full of my son Alex.

Another unexpected update

Well it looks like I might be home for good. Nothing new on the placenta previa, but I now have high blood pressure & am spilling protein in my urine. Yup the very beginning of preeclampsia. I am now keeping my feet up or laying on my left side as much as possible. I have got to keep this kid in here until at least 32 weeks. That's 6 1/2 weeks I have to keep him safe in utero. I am having to go to the doc at least once a week, provided nothing changes. If things get bad...Hospital bedrest on steroids for the baby's lungs to mature faster. My husband is a nervous wreck. I'm trying to convince him that there is no need to worry until the doc says worry.

I have my gestational diabetes test next week. Please let me pass that. I think I'm all filled up with complications for now.
