Back on bed rest

in July 2011 Moms

I thought things were going fairly well but I guess I was wrong.  I had my regular weekly appointment today and my blood pressure has gone up again.  150/105.  So I'm at home now and have to be on strict bed rest this weekend and do another 24 hour urine.  Yay.  She also increased my medication from 2x/day to 3x/day.  I had so much planned for this weekend including participating in the Lupus Walk for one of my good friends.  MH and I were going to go to the home improvement store and pick out paint and I wanted to squeeze in a mani/pedi.  Oh well, guess I'll be a couch potato this weekend. 

For you ladies who have been on bed rest for a long time now I really admire you.  I don't know how you've managed to remain sane.  lol.  But in the end all that matters is keeping our LOs safe and healthy.

    Uch - I've been on bed rest since 19 weeks. It's horribly boring and frustrating! I'm "sneaking" out this weekend...to go to the dentist! I want to get some stuff done before LO arrives and am overdue for a cleaning. Lovely outing to look forward to. Hang in there! Hopefully it's just one weekend - get some netflix and relaxing time in :)

    Ugh what a crappy start to your weekend =(   I hope your BP gets straightened out so you can get up and around again soon!

    I'm so sorry. I hope the 24 hr urine test comes back normal.

    I have a girlfriend coming over next week to do pedicures... it's not the same as going to the salon but at least I'll have pretty toes!

    Rest up, momma!

    So sorry your weekend plans were foiled by BP, and you get to have your cooler in the bathroom making YH crazy again. 

    Maybe you can send YH to the store for paint chips, then still have him get samples.  And get him to paint your toes for you Wink

    I am really sorry that you are back on bed rest. I hope the medication works for you. I lucked out in that my protein levels were in the normal range and my bp is sticking to the high side of normal.  I am still following the partial bed rest that my doctor suggested in the hopes that I won't need medicine or need them to deliver early.  You are absolutely right about doing whatever to have a healthy LO. Netflix and the library have become my best friends.
