Hey,
So I have become a 100% lurker since I became pregnant, not sure why, just distracted I suppose. I am still here though!
Just wanted to let you guys know that I am headed to the hospital to be induced due to preeclampsia (high blood pressure) and I can really use your prayers. I am super nervous - first baby and I am really against major medical intervention like inductions. I was hoping to have her naturally - but we found out Wednesday that it was time to do something because my blood pressure problems weren't getting any better. I am still going to try to make it without an epidural, but we will see. I have heard that inducted labor is way worse than natural, so I may not be strong enough. I would be 38 weeks tomorrow, so luckily she isn't technically premature.
Prayers for strength and baby's health would be awesome!
Bethany
