My wife was diagnosed with it at 20 weeks.... 3 weeks later she was admitted and our baby was delivered a few days later at 24 weeks weighing 16 ounces... Her condition can rapidly decline so it's important that she's forthcoming with how she's feeling. At 31 weeks, y'all should be good to go from a premature delivery aspect with are relative minimum stay (few weeks) in the nicu if they have to deliver.

My wife's BP jumped up to 210/120 quick as her organs were showing signs of failure. Make sure the doctors give her the celestone to promote lung development in the baby. My little stayed in the NICU for 5 months and required oxygen even after we were discharged. We were at Woman's here in Baton Rouge, it's a great place to say the least.

Let me know if you want my email address, as I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Thanks for the info. So far, things are good, BP is falling (slowly).

She is having the celestone soon.
