Intro

in High-Risk Pregnancy

Hi, ladies!  I wanted to intro as a new member of the bed rest group.  I'm a FTM due Sept. 4th.

I have been considered high-risk for a while due to chronic high blood pressure.  In addition, I'm 39, so it adds another possible layer of concern.  I am now dealing with my chronic hypertension along with pregnancy-induced hypertension.  My BP meds have been doubled, but they just aren't cutting it if I'm moving around.  I spent this weekend in the hospital.  My doctor was out this past week when my numbers jumped quite a bit.  Throughout the week and this weekend I saw two of his partners.  No other symptoms of pre-e at this point. 24- hour urine was great.  Baby looks great on BPPs, NSTs, etc.  thankfully!  They gave me the steroid shots this weekend as a precaution. (For mobile users, I'm 33 1/2 weeks.). I'll see my regular dr tomorrow, but as of discharge this evening I was placed on modified bed rest.

Adding to my stress, my husband left on Saturday for a business trip to Japan, getting on the plane about an hour before I was told to head to L&D.  Hopefully no other surprises like that while he's gone!

I tend to lurk more than post (even IRL I'm more of an observer than talker), but I look forward to getting to know you!
