37 week appt turned into bedrest :(

Last week my blood pressure was borderline, but all of my lab work came back okay.  Yesterday my blood pressure went up to 146/112 at work and I ended up in triage for 4 hours!  I had an ultrasound this morning and LO is about 7lbs 3 oz and doing great, but now I am on bed rest! My blood pressure was still 138/98.  I am so glad this didn't happen any earlier.  I know LO is doing great and could come if need be now!  Unfortunately my cervix is closed and he is still pretty high. I'm praying my blood pressure stays in the normal range!  Now I just sit around and wait for LO to come out...

How is everyone else doing?

    I'm really sorry to hear that, at least you are at the end of your pregnancy so you won't be on bedrest too long.  I just went to the Dr. today because my BP last night was 145/100 and I feel like the Dr. just brushed me off!  He didn't even ask me any questions or look at my feet or anything. All because my BP was good when I was there, but I tried telling him that they seem to swell in the evening.  He said "the swelling will go up and down"   GL!

    Good luck to you! Did you have everything done that you wanted to before LO comes?  I still need to pack my bag (I think I've waited long enough lol).  I'm going to have DH do it when he gets home.

    Pretty sure the same thing will happen to me tomorrow at my 37 week appt.  My 24 urine came back just barely under the line for pre-e diagnosis.  I would rather be on bedrest until I go into labor than be induced though.  Hang in there!

    Been on modified bedrest for 2 weeks now. Hoping tomorrow I get better news and get to go back to work PT, since my BP is under control with meds.

    Wow, I'm surprised he didn't take it more seriously! Just because it isn't high when you actually see the doctor doesn't mean something isn't wrong.  Keep an eye on it and be an advocate for yourself if you feel like something isn't right!  I have been getting horrible headaches for the past week so I knew something was going on.  GL to you too!

    I am almost finished with my 2nd 24 hour urine & I am hoping it comes back negative.  They are thinking it is more PIH than Pre-E.  I go back on Friday for an NST and to see the doctor and they may put me on meds if it is still high.  I am pretty sure mine was stress-related from work since I am a nurse and was still working 12 hour shifts.  I would rather be at home on bedrest than be induced, too!

    GL to you!!

    I just gave myself 20 minutes to marathon pack and then relegated myself to the couch- I am on Level 3 bedrest so only on left side, eating, resting and min to no stairs....ahhhh! I am glad they are taking no risks with us but its a little shocking at the same time- best of luck to you too!
