I just got a message from lovegrilledcheese that she's been diagnosed with pre-eclampsia and waiting for a detailed ultrasound and MFM consult for deciding next steps. Let's send her family and Baby Cheese all the good vibes and T&Ps. I will keep you all posted as she sends updates.
Update 1 from LGC:
So still here as I have atypical preeclampsia as I haven't had high bp since I got here (had at home all Sun). Right now they are trying to tackle the horrible headaches with high doses of prednisone and pain meds. If we can get a handle on it and I continue to be stable then I may get to go home and be monitored on outpatient basis (as don't have severe bp here). So right now I'm in a waiting game as to what is next.
Update 2 from LGC:
I am still here and fighting the headaches. They put me on high dose of steroids for next week to see it that will help break things. Right now just trying to get rid of horrible headaches. My OB said today she thought I would stay because of the amount of protein I have. MFM yesterday seemed to think I could go home if we get rid of headaches since I haven't had high bp here but only at home. (Here I'm just laying in bed while at home I'm relaxing but I do lots of household things still). So for now everything is up in the air. I have bloodwork being drawn again Sat so we will go from there.

Hoping everything is ok!
