So I haven't posted in forever
I may not have posted in like a year, but I need to get some stuff out somewhere so here it is. As of Wed, I will be 37 weeks along....3 more weeks to my due date of Feb 4th. On Friday, I got put on bed rest because my blood pressure keeps flunctuating. When I got to the dr, it's 130s/90s...they send me over to the Labor and Delivery unit to monitor me and I go down to 120s/70s. It's crazy. My dr thinks that I will get pre-eclampsia. It's not a matter of if, but when. So....what does that mean for me? Bed rest until baby gets here, whether it be baby comes on his/her own, induction, or c-section. I'm hoping my doctor will tell me today what she thinks. I'd almost rather her say that she wants to go ahead and take the baby at the beginning of the week if we have to do induction or c-section. I just know me and that the more she waits, the worse my blood pressure will get because I am such a big worrier. On top of all that, I am so itchy now that I don't know what to do with myself. I need baby out so I won't itch. Then the other thing is, I feel so stupid these days because I didn't even know I was having contractions. Apparently the tightness I was feeling across my abdomen is a contraction...so I don't even know how long I've been having these. I just know all weekend since I now know what to look for. I'd almost like my water to break or for the contractions to be regular so that I have some clue what is going on instead of leaving everything in my doctor's hands. I don't like feeling so lost and helpless. Ok, so enough whining....
I can and will do this for as long as I have to.
