Looks like my 1st doula client has this.
She is 37w today, BP has been sky high for at least the last 3 weeks. Going in today(AM) for 3rd MD visit in last 3 working days, spent Friday and yesterday in hossy. Her partner told me that 'they' don't think she'll last the week (whatever that means
). When this began I offered suggestions that she could try to help lower it. They tried some and it seemed to work for a week but they have not kept up with it. She is not interested in a med-free birth.
What I want to know is two things.
1. How is this normally handled in the hospital birth environment? (IE: what should I prepare myself/them for?)
2. How would HB midwives handle GH?
Thanks!
