Some know my daughter is at almost complete term for her first child after many failed attempts.
Due date kept getting pushed back. Now in 5 days. She has extremely high BP. Going to Dr. today. They might induce labor. Then do a C Section if no results after 4 hours.
I went through a hard 14 hour labor when she was born and could have no other children. I was in early 20's at the time. Daughter is in mid 30's, but was very healthy prior to pregnancy.
So, please keep my daughter in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.

Dear Father, we ask that You watch over Beth, her daughter, and the baby. We ask that You give them strength and courage and that You lay Your healing hands upon them. We ask that You, oh Devine Physician, bless the doctors and all who are caring for them with wisdom and skill. We ask that the blood pressure will come down and the baby will be delivered safely. Amen.

What do I do when under a lot of stress? Walk around outside. Smell and cut some Lilacs from my yard and harvest the last of the Asparagus. Even saw and photographed my first butterfly of the year. Also some huge bumblebees. They were in the Lilacs. One bunch of flowers had both a butterfly and bumbler on it.
A very relaxing time. My house is filled with Lilacs and smells so good.

Update. Baby will be born, Monday at the latest. Daughter's blood pressure is not at a critical level as of yesterday. She has a pretty good idea when it is getting close to that, so takes her BP. Then is doing everything she can to relax. She is lucky to have a Dr., Midwife and Abdulla coordinating her care. Will be at a nearby birthing center connected to a large hospital.
She sent me an ultrasound photo of the baby. The look on his face was very grumpy, as if to say: "I want out, now"!
Again, thank you to everyone for your thoughts/prayers.

Please keep them coming. Quite coincidentally and not to steal your thread but my second grand daughter Evelyn Jean was born early yesterday morning in very similar circumstances - emergency c-section due to elevated blood pressure. Baby was breech the whole time so she was already scheduled for a c-section on 6/2 and it was only a few days ahead of schedule. I'm happy to report that mom and baby are doing fine - not so sure about the dad but we'll see.
