My wife had a similar situation. Her proteins were sky high on a Wednesday. Doc gave her celestone shots on thur and fri. WIfe felt bad friday evening, rush to OB WIng of hospital, wifes BP was over 200, she had a seizure and they did emergency c section. Daughter was born 8 weeks early weighing 2lb 14 ounces. Daughter had 28 day NICU stay just to get bigger, no other issues. Wife was perfectly fine 3 days later. It was a scary time especially with baby in NICu and wife still whoozy from csection and bp meds but in the end the docs and nurses were great and all are great now. We were at LGMC in Lafayette.

You guys aren't helping me much with these stories.

Baby is 2 lbs, 9 oz right now, so hopefully she gets a little bigger.

Just to update: this is what ended up happening over the weekend (minus the seizure.)

Everybody is okay. Baby will be in NICU for a while.

This thread was great to give me some sort of idea of the possible outcomes. Thanks for the info everybody. It made life (a little) easier when the shite hit the fan.
