36 Week Appointment Update

Leah&ColeLeah&Cole member
in Pregnant after a Loss

This morning I had my 36 week appointment and as a result, I'm going to 1/2 time a work.

I've been taking my BP twice a day at home since the beginning of the year because of white coat syndrome.  When I started taking it, my numbers were in the 1-teens/low 70s.  Over the past few weeks, they've risen to be consistently 125 - high 130s/high 80s.  I don't have any protein in my urine or any other symptoms of pre-e, but my docs would like me to take it easy from now on, in hopes of keep my bp at bay.

So, here I am sitting at work, trying to figure out partial leave.  Sure do wish I would have researched that before hand..... rats!

Otherwise, baby is doing well... still big, so I'm going to get another u/s on 6/14 to get a "final" weight estimate and make a go forward plan.

    Did they check you for progress?

    Sorry to hear about the partial leave, that sounds like a PITA. But I am glad to hear that baby is doing well...

    They did not, though I wish they would have.  They were already up in my business doing the GBS swab...

    Hope the part-time works out smoothly (I have NO clue how I would swing that one, so thanks for the warning and keep us posted with the solution!) and your BP settles down.

    My OB asked me if I wanted her to check when she was going the swab, I really am surprized at how many OB's don't check. I was under the impression that this was a normal thing.

    Ditto... I was fully expecting to be checked today.  I was basically "stunned' when she said it so I didn't think to ask her to check.

    AW, sorry about your BP.  That's no fun.  Are/Were you planning on working up until delivery? 

    It will all work out - glad the baby is doing well :-)

    The plan was to work until baby came.... looks like that's being modified slightly.  Oh well... whatever is best.
