A plan of action

Seeing how I have Preeclampsia the doctors have been keeping an eye on me and the baby.  Monday I had a Biophysical Profile and Non-stress Test done and another Non-stress Test done on Thursday.  Looks like baby is doing alright, but my blood pressure is still a little crazy so the best thing for the baby and I is to get him delivered.  Monday night around 8pm I will be going into Regina Hospital will hospital bag in hand.  They will start with soften and dilating my cervix with a medication called Misoprostol.  They will give that to me every 4 hours.  Hopefully things will progess as expected and everything can happen naturally.  If not the next step will be to give me pitocin to help things along.  Other option is to have them break my water but I'd rather have the pitocin just in case it does go over 24 hours.  Last resort will be ceaseran section.  That I absolutely do not want, but if that is what needs to happen to keep me and baby healthy than that is what will happen.  With everyone's prayers and support I should be a mommy by TUESDAY!
