contractions. They examinded her and told us they didn't want to scare us but because her blood preasue was so high and the babies hearth rate was 165 to 175 she could have preeclapsia.They ran a bunch of test and observed her for 4 hours. Test came back normal except for the fact that she was dehyderated. They pumped her full of fluids and things turned for the better and they sent her home. She has been sleeping since 3a.m. and has only had 4 or 5 contractions since they sent her home. She isn't due until November 14. They said she will need to be very careful because she isn't out of the woods and it could turn for the worse really fast. Please keep her in your prayers. It's pretty tuff when she is in Texas and I'm in Arkansas.

Of course prayers for Deana & Adelaide! But about you, you do know that stress intensifies pain and any conditions you may have. Have you been tested for Epstein-Barr? You've probably tried this, but just in case not, for the cramping, prescription strength Motrin. I used to get horrific cramps the second day of my period, but they found an over-production of prostaglandin, which causes the uterus to cramp. If I took the Motrin faithfully at the start of my period, the cramps never developed, or were very mild. Motrin in this case is not working as a pain reliever, but as a prostaglandin inhibitor. If you wait till the cramps are on, it doesn't work nearly so well, thought it does work some. I was typically taking 800mg, which is high. Don't do it without a prescription, because the over the counter stuff will make you sick in high doses. Any ibuprofen will work, doesn't have to be Motrin, but does have to be ibuprofen. Good luck! I may have to put up with these daggone hot flashes, but those stupid cramps & bleeding kept me in bed for couple of days a month, I know how awful that is, I think the hot flashes were an ok trade, hee hee hee. Please take care. Marji

All God's blessings poured out on all of you. Take care of yourself, Adeliade needs her grandma and Deana needs her mom to get better. You sound to be anemic. I hope you are going to your doctor frequently.

I can't eat any type of red meat because I have sjorgens syndrome and I can't digest meat and it just sets in my stomach until it makes me sick.

My thoughts and prayers to your family and hoping that things turn around for you. She sounds so much like me when I had the second girl - she was due November 28 and started trying to make an appearance in September - She was born October 24th, and was a whopping 7 lb 12 oz - sure would have hated to carry her full term. Blessing to you both, and the new baby.
