And My Bum Is Grounded. I'm Going To Pout Now...

Just once this pregnancy I would like to leave my doctors office with ONLY good news and be able to send my husband a message that would make his day awesome. Luckily he is eternally optomistic and doesn't stress out easily, but still, I know he worries.

Last week my blood pressure was 151/91 up again. It's been steadily rising my whole pregnancy. This week it had jumped up to 158/96. So my 'weekly' appointment is now a 'three days later to check on you and hopefully it hasn't risen any more' appointment.

And my bum is grounded to my couch. My dad is coming to check on me tonight and I have a sink full of dishes I wanted to get done because I'm embarrassed they aren't done yet and I'm forbidden to do them. Or vacuum. Or anything but sit. I don't mind sitting for the sake of my baby's health... but damn it I really should have been a better lonely housewife this week and kept up with my cleaning!!!

    That's just no fun at all!  I'm bored out of my mind and WANTING to clean, my house is DONE!  If I could pop over and clean them up for ya, I'd be there!!

    I'm shocked you got sent home with pressures like that. I've never seen a woman walk out of triage still pregnant with pressures like that. If you get any symptoms (Headache, nausea, vomiting, spots, liver pain) I'd be booking it to the hospital. GL!

    I told my doctor I occasionally see sparkles (legit like when you light a sparkler) and I have occasional nausea and some heaviness of my limbs from time to time but he said unless I have persistant headaches or I start vomiting a lot just to take it easy. Baby is active so thats a good sign!

    I'm definitely going to watch and of course my dad hovers like crazy convinced shes just gonna pop out. Haha he promised my husband before he deployed that he would take good care of me. I know hes my dad but hes afraid of disappointing my husband. It's sweet!

    you definitely need to just take care of yourself (and therefore, the baby)...rest, drinik a ton of water and relax as much as you can! i'm sure it's hard, but at least you have a valid excuse not to clean! Big Smile

    I had almost the exact same blood pressure and symptoms (seeing sparkles, nausea) yesterday and they sent me to L&D immediately.  My blood pressure went back down within a normal range in a few hours so they sent me home on bed rest and had me come in again this morning, where my blood pressure was within normal but borderline.  My baby is also SGA, though, so they might have been more cautious with me due to that.  They are letting me off bed rest now, so I hope the same is true for you next week!

    Oh yay! That makes me feel better. I am worried it won't go down and they will want to induce me. I'm happy to do whatever is best for her but I'd like her to be much closer to her due date before she comes out. I feel better handing her to her daddy for the first time in the 2 month range over 3. Of course who knows she could be 3 or 4 months old by the time he gets home. I know it's notTHAT big of a deal, but it's important to me.
