Long long week...

I went the Monday for my OB appointment and he told me my blood pressure was consistently high for the past few appointments (surprise!). They want me to do "scheduled bed rest" for the rest of the pregnancy.They also gave me some pills to help me keep it down.

 As if this wasn't enough, I got a call the Wednesday saying that I didn't pass my glucose test. The Thursday I had to do the 3 hours one and they gave me one of this 100mg glucose drinks that was 10x worse than the 1 hour test. They poked me 4 times  and now I am waiting for the results. It sucks to be on "bed rest"  with a very active toddler (almost preschooler?). I'm not getting any "rest" really... 
My MIL comes here and there to help, but she can't stay for long. I am worried about this baby, with high blood pressure and possibly GD, I have no idea what can happen to him/her! I hope I am just worrying too much, and that is all...

They scheduled my C-sec the 28 July (if I make it so far...). Oh well, just had a bit of a hard week there.... Any advice?

Re: Long long week...

  • Aw man, I am sorry - Hopefully you passed the 3 hour test so you don't have to worry about that on top of your BP.

    I have no idea how I would do bedrest with a 2.5 year old. Maybe realllly child proof a specific room of your house so that you can lay there and let LO go wild? I don't know.

    We spend quite a lot of time in my bedroom. It is very big and I moved (well, my husband did) some of his things inside so he can actually play in there. We watch a lot of videos lately...but it is not like I have a choice... I am guessing he is going to be tired soon. Better than be in the hospital without seeing him for 2 months!!! 
    I will call today for the results, hoping for the best.... :)

    I called the office, they said they would call me back.... I am still waiting.. I hate waiting for results. I guess they didn't get it still (?). I hope they get them this morning.
