Thoughts and Prayers please!

So.. I was in the ER most of yesterday afternoon, they did multiple tests and all came back good, except for the one that came back this morning. The OB called this morning and said that from the results of yesterdays test it looked as if I was developing Preeclampsia early this pregnancy(22w 4d) and that I needed to go see a High Risk OB in Charlotte, NC this afternoon at 2:30 where they would do more tests and determine where to go from there with how those tests came back. He also told me to pack a bag because he didn't know if/when/how long I would be staying in the hospital if that came up. I'm just really scared right now. Mainly because of the baby, but also because of my Almost 2 year old never being away from me at night or at all except for a couple hours at a time. I'm not sure how he will act and I know he will be really upset by not snuggling with mommy at night. His dad said he would watch him, but NOT in the comfort of his own home, and he wouldn't get to se me or his pawpaw EVERYDAY like now....Also the fact that when his dad goes to work his dads mom would be watching him.. I COMPLETELY disagree with that because A. she has 3 HUGE dogs, 4 cats, 2 horses, and 2 goats, but all the pet dander and stuff from the animals well, it's just not really healthy for him and I also don't want him left there with her alone for multiple reasons, she could have a stroke, heart attack, anything, her house isn't "Baby proof" so he could EASLIY get hurt..if he was to get outside without her realizing he could fall off the porch and hit cement or he could run out in the road and get hit by a car before anyone could/would find him....Just please pray that I will NOT have to stay at the hospital and that something can be done at home to help this.

((HUGS)) I'm sorry you are going through so much right now. First step is to get through your 2:30 apt and see what he says. Hopefully you can go home and have lots of more time and can figure out a better alternative for your LO in case you will need it. Good luck and let us know how the apt goes.

Oh I'm sorry you are going through this! I have a big fear of complications in my pregnancy, mostly because of how it would affect DD. I agree with sweetc129 though. Take it one step at a time and if needed, maybe see if someone else is available to help with DS instead of his dad.

I'm so sorry you are going through so many things at once. I really hope that your appointment today goes well and that you won't need an extended stay in the hospital. If you do, is there anyway that Pawpaw could take care of him until the new baby comes? I know that it's a lot to ask, but if you are more comfortable with him staying in your home this may be the best option. Maybe his dad would be willing to take him for a day trips away from home and return him at night to Pawpaw?

(On a sidenote, my DD had never been away from me for more than 10 hours until the birth of my second daughter last month. She did much better than I expected without me and adjusted well to all the changes. I honestly think it's a lot harder for us then it is for them sometimes.)

Good luck! Keep us posted!

I wouldn't mind him staying at home with my dad providing my sister was there as well to help out. my dad is 79 and really isn't "able" to changes diapers and such... I just don't want him feeling like he is losing both mommy and daddy at the same time.. and I most DEFINITELY do NOT want daddy taking him around other women(not saying he would) but if that situation arose.

Sorry, just got a chance to post. I was admitted to Presby on Tuesday with a BP at the Dr. Office of 170/100. They ran some lab work in the hospital and also did a 24-hour urine collection. The numbers from the collection came back at 283. I was released on Thursday with currently just a diagnoses of hypertension.

So sorry to hear you were hospitalized. Hopefully the hypertension won't result in a PE diagnosis! How did your LO do away from you?

The first night when he was with his dad he cried and woke up 2-3 times that night crying. Then the entire next day he was sick threw up 3-4 times. The second night, he stayed in the "comfort" of his home with his pawpaw, meme, and poppy (my dad, sister, bro-in-law) and slept all night and seemed fine (other than needing a nap) when I got home.
