The Countdown is On...

Less than 36 hours to my c-sec... Yeay!!! My doc scheduled me for Friday the 4th - I go in at 7am!!! I know it will get worse before it gets better but I am so looking forward to the END OF THIS EXCESSIVE SEVERE SWELLING!!!

Question - my BP was up to 130/80 today - is that dangerous?

Looking forward to all the new arrivals - love to you all - I pray for each of you!!!

Oh cocoa congrats! our babies will be exactly one week apart. The c sec wasn't bad for me so i hope everything goes perfect with yours!! I can't wait to see your little ones

Hey Alicia!!!!

You have two cuties girl... and I agree with you about your sweeties rooming together. I think it is one's youth that has doctors talking down to us sometimes. I have a masters+ in EC development and teaching and I still have to prove myself at times...

I am glad you are feeling good though - I know the next week will be really rough but I so look forward to have my body back!!! (when? don't know for sure but at least I am at nearer the starting point toward working on it!)

Ahhhhhhhhhh......isn't it great to have an end in sight? Good luck & your blood pressure still sounds good to me. Hang in there!!!

Yeah, you have a date! The BP is still ok, a little high. my BP was 170 over 110 before I delivered!!
Keep us posted and can't wait to see those babies. I hope you have a very easy delivery and smooth recovery!

Yay!! 36 hours is just so close!!!

I think your bp is still in the normal range. Ya, a little high, but nothing to be too worried about. I had my NST at the hospital yesterday and had about the same (normally I'm more like 110/60 or so I think) and they weren't concerned at all. I've just started swelling this week (I'm surprised my body held off so long!) and even with that they weren't worried.

Good luck getting ready and dealing with the anticipation! ;)

Congrats on being so close to the end. I have 8 more days and it feels like forever and you seem far more miserable then I-I am happy to hear that you will be more comfortable soon.

Yay! It's so close! I'm jealous. I have 9 more days max. :) That BP is high end of normal. I wouldn't worry about it at all. GL!

Woo hoo!! I am excited for you to meet your babies so soon! I hope you are able to get some sleep tonight! Best of luck and glad you will be rid the swelling!

congrats!!!

Though Cocoa... one thing they don't tell you - the swelling doesn't always go right away!! I am still deflating and it's been two weeks already, and I have a ways to go. :(

You WILL feel better after the babies are out, though, I guarantee that!!
