preeclampsia...28 weeks

jlobaby

Yesterday, my doctor advised me of protein in my urine & my blood pressure is showing as high. So it seems I have preeclampsia. I had to do a 24hr urine collection that will be turned in tomorrow, and they did blood work. I had no symptoms besides high blood pressure and protein in my urine....now tonight, I'm having some pain in my lower right abdomen & feels like I may have heartburn. Any thoughts? Can I deliver now? Is the baby developed enough at 28 almost 29 weeks?

Try to relax I know its scary. I had my first at 28 weeks due to preterm labor and he was in the NICU for 7 weeks no ventilator and he has been the sign of health ever since then. Just try not to stress. I hope everything turns out ok for u.

Have they started you on the baby lung steroids yet? My sister's youngest two were born at 26 and 27 weeks both made it both & are rather typical 6 & 7 y/o's

Not yet. I'm going back in today. Thank you all for being here! I couldn't sleep last night, until your responses eased my mind
