Need some advice....

OSUgrl23OSUgrl23
in 3rd Trimester

My BP has been running a little elevated around135/80 to 140/90 the last 2 weeks.  I do not have any other symptoms of preeclampsia but Dr. said to watch it and we are having an ultrasound on Monday to check out LO and make sure he is still doing ok and we may induce next week.  He is still high and my cervix is still long and thick even though I am dilated to a 2. 

My dilemma is do I walk to get my cervix to cooperate so my cervix will thin or do I just rest as much as possible to keep my BP down.  Dr said not to do any extra activity so BP doesn?t go up more....  I am so confused and very disappointed that I did so good for almost the whole nine months and now I can't control my BP..

 Any suggestions or personal experiences??


Thanks!

    If the dr says no extra activity I would assume this would be walking also. I wouldnt risk it. You are almost there

    I wasn't referring to extra activity I was reffering to my normal activities. Should I be stopping those as well.  I didn't ask the Dr. that.

    I got to the point "My BP is"  and stopped reading, thinking, I am not qualified to answer this.  You might want to check with your dr. ,  again if you already did.
