I had the scariest Dr. appt. yesterday .I am 32 weeks today. Yesterday my BP was really high. The assistant wouldn't tell me at first. She took it again. It was 160/100! My Dr. immediately sent me to get blood work and then I had to go to the birthing unit to get monitored. I was a mess and crying because there was a chance I was going to have to have the baby that day and sent down to another hospital. Thank God my BP went down...It went to 107/68! Crazy difference. I am doing the 24 hr. urine collection today and now I am going to the Dr.'s A LOT more to get monitored. I am on bed rest as well. I can only get up to use bathroom/shower and get a drink/food. My Dr. really wants me to get to 34 weeks and hopefully 36 weeks....so scared! Anyone have a similar experience??

    I'm 31 weeks and have been on bed rest since 11 weeks. It is scary to know that something is happening out of our control, and laying around unable to get our minds off things makes it harder. Try not to stress - I know easier said than done but it really
