I was put on bed rest a couple weeks ago due to high bp. I have also been having non-stress tests 2 times per week. Yesterday during one of my nst's my bp was very high. They were unable to get it down, so they sent me to the hospital for monitoring. At which time they decided to keep me.
My bp will not stabilize, and they aren't sure why. All of my labs are great, which makes it even more confusing. I've had chronic kidney stones for a few years so I'm going to have an ultrasound of my kidney's in a little while to see if that's what is causing the issue, although my ob doesn't seem to think that anything will come back with that either, since my kidney's are functioning properly, according to the 24 urine collection they started when I got here yesterday.
They discussed a possible induction as early as tomorrow. I'm very nervous, but I am confident that they are doing everything they can for me and my baby. (The baby does not seem effected at all by any of the bp issues)
Re: In the hospital
Glad that the baby is still doing well, hope they can get your BP down a bit or at least figure out what's causing it to stay up!
Good luck with the induction tomorrow, if that is the route they choose.

Yikes! Scary, but it sounds like they are taking really great care of you and baby.
That is scary. I'm glad they decided to have you stay for monitoring. If they do have to induce, I'm sure it will be what is best for you and baby. GL to you and your lo.
