Bed Arrest!

januarymommy2015 · September 2014

So I've had swelling from head to toes for about a week now, and was told at my monthly check-up today that my blood pressure was elevated, no protein in urine, but I did have large keystones and I'm extremely dehydrated.

So now I'm on "bed arrest" for a week until we have a follow-up. I had eclampsia with my first child, so fingers crossed we don't go there again this time around.

I hope the bed rest helps bring your BP down.

Thanks girls! Yes I have some baby projects waiting to start. I guess I'll keep my mind and hands busy with that. And I'm totally interested in the Netflix idea. I am addicted to engaging in series marathons on Netflix!!!

Sorry to hear that

I'm on hospital bedrest because I have pre-eclampsia. I hope the bedrest helps you and your pressure stays down and doesn't develop into pre-e!

(coloring has been fun for me, too!)

Oh no!! Hopefully the bed "arrest" doesn't last too long. FX that it helps being down your BP and you feel better soon!!

So sorry to hear this! Preeclampsia/eclampsia is such a bitch! Sending T&P for you that bed rest helps (and is not needed for long) and that this does not progress any further!
