I went in for a routine 37 wk check-up, and they did a pelvic and told me I am dilated to 1, 75% effaced, and when they took my BP, they immediately told me they were gonna admit me for a little while for observation. They wouldn't tell me what my BP was, but before they discharged me, I looked at the monitor and it was 155/91. So I am on bedrest indefinitely and have to go back on Friday for a check-up and more observation. They said I'm high risk for Pre-E but don't have it as of now. Help! What does all this mean? They tried explaining it to me but I didn't understand their terms!
But most of all....
What does effaced mean?
What is pre-eclampsia?
