L&D is like my second home now. *update 1 in first post and update 2 in reply/comment section*

So I came in for my monitoring appointment for L&D. Of course my blood pressure was crazy like 160/100 then kept going up and down like usual. I told them how I've had the stupid constant headache still, nausea, and I've been having stronger contractions. Of course, they admitting me for observation yet again and another god damn 24 hour urine test. Baby is still pretty good but his heart rate was a bit crazy when my contractions and blood pressure was spiking a lot. They keep doing labs but everything keeps coming back okay with very minimal changes. I guess they just want my protein in my urine to be even more I guess before they decide to try to deliver and see if that ends my miserable mild preclampsia. I mean yes bed rest seems to work on lowering my blood pressure but it always ends up going back up. I been taking Tylenol but no help to ending these constant headaches. The nausea is making it hard to truly want to eat but I've been forcing through it. They don't want to give me any medication for the HBP since it seems to lower with bedrest for long periods. I don't really want to take much medications anyway for sake of LO since he seems good. I'm going crazy here and I just want a solid plan already with some reassurance. I know it's great LO is still doing basically great in the oven but I mean the oven is on the fritz. I want him truly to make it till his due date but how much more is my body going to handle this before its considered severe?.. I'm just so overwhelmed with all of this going on.... Sorry for my bitching, venting and ranting. Just thought I keep you all posted on my news. **********************Update*******************update already (sorry for it being all together I'm on my phone) So after just posting this I guess doctor read my mind and gave me the lowdown. With how my condition keeps going up and down plus with my headaches, he said we have three options which is do nothing, induce, or csection. I'm like well what do you recommend and he said to start inducing since my blood pressure is stable now because of how my symptoms have been plus how the baby is good and now that I'm 37 weeks. So going to get this started today so today or tomorrow I should have my LO here.. Hopefully My blood pressure won't go crazy again and hopefully it will be a good induction... Still overwhelming and DH just ran home so he missed the doctor so I had to call him to get his ass back here.
