Jessica was released from the hospital. They stabilized her Blood Pressure and got the headache under control. She tested negative for Pre-eclampsia. They sent her home with a blood pressure monitor to help ensure it doesn't skyrocket again. Baby can stay in unless the BP gets too high again. The Dr. believes that she had migraine (from pregnancy and/or stress) and this caused her BP to rise. She is stable and resting. She can resume her normal activities based around her headaches or BP. Thank you for your prayers.
We have opted to not have a homebirth for many reasons. The main one being that the midwife we chose did not inform us that she is prohibited from working in the hospital that would deliver the baby if a problem arose. We were informed that due to previous complications, she is restricted from working there. That is now 3 separate doctors who have told us stories of complications gone array with her, on top of Jessica's feelings of uneasiness and lack of confidence in her. Thus, she will labor at home and we will go to the hospital when things are getting close. And then we can come home shortly after that if there are no problems.

Glad all is well with Jess and Miles. Praying for an easier time from here. Sounds like you have a good plan for delivery with the information you now have. Continuing to pray for safe and easy birth!
