Just Kidding


So now I am once again out of the hospital. The doctors felt (with a little persuasion from a highly emotional pregnant mother) that I could go back to strict resting at home until they induce me next week. Honestly, I feel terrible health-wise, but I would rather feel terrible at home than terrible in a hospital- or anywhere else, for that matter. I've been through a lot. From eight IV attempts to being pumped full of magnesium- an anti-seizure medication that I don't even want to discuss, I have already surprised myself by what I am able to live through... and we haven't even gotten to the labor part yet! I'm scheduled to be induced next Wednesday morning unless something opens up on Tuesday. On the other hand, my preeclampsia may worsen before then and I will get induced earlier ...or I may just go into labor on my own. Who knows? This whole pregnancy has just been one roller coaster ride after another!

    Oh Meggie I feel so horrible for you. It's amazing what the body can stand huh? I hope that little girl is so healthy and that you can recover quickly. At the same time I wish I were far enough along to be induced. How do we do this? I'm sure you've heard the stories from mom.

    Done the magnesium thing before - nasty stuff...so sorry!

    I won't admit to my most favorite because I want to use it - but it does seem like we have the same taste, again...

    Wow. You are going thru so much. I'm super glad you were able to talk your way into going home though. Being at home will bring you more comfort I'm sure. I bet you get more rest too. Hang in there!
