Where do I start??????

I am sure by now alot of you know that I have been having some complications with my pregnancy. There has been so much confusion on what is really wrong I thought this would be the easiest way to get it out there...... sooooooo here we go.

Around my 17th week I had what they call a "triple screen" done. This blood test looks for any elevation in numbers that could effect fetal growth and development. Well, my test came back with one level (HCG) dangerously high. My doctors office called me at home to let me know that with levels of the nature they wanted to set me up asap with a specialist at UAB. Three days later I was at UAB speaking with a Fetal Genetics Specialist and having a Doppler Ultrasound and a Amnio done. Needless to say I was a nervous wreck.

The main thing they were concerned about was Spinal Bifida, but there was also other concerns that came along with my levels. As the Doctor performed the ultrasound the baby looked good and measured to date but there was still a great deal of concern from what they saw with beyond him.... my placenta was much larger than it should be and the doctor didn't understand why. So then they completed my amnio, and may I just say that is not a comfortable thing.....
We left UAB with the understanding that this pregnancy was categorized as a High Risk Pregnancy and that I would need to continue my care with both my regular OB and the Doc's at UAB.

Since that time we have learned my amnio came back great! But, I on the other hand I am not so great. My placenta is pushing down on the baby not giving him much room to grow and my BP is very high. Last Monday I was placed in the Hospital with elevated BP and sent home on meds twice daily. A follow up with my regular OB later that week revealed I probably won't be able to carry the baby to full term in fact if I make it to 36 weeks I will doing good. Another problem is he mentioned bed rest which if you know me that is hardly something that could even be possible. They are all kinds of little things that are causing issues but these are the main things. So, everyone please pray for my little man that I can carry him to a healthy delivery date and he will be born with no problems and throw a little pray in there for me that I may have the understanding and faith to make it through this.

Thank you everyone!!!!
