Hey Everyone! I just wanted to update you on what's been going on with me. I haven't been feeling so great the past few days. I took my blood pressure this morning and it was 141/80! I about freaked out! So, I relaxed and thought it would go back down and it was still 145/76 an hour later.
Later in the day I ended up running to Walmart with my friend, Stefanie, to get baby shower favors for my baby shower this coming Sunday. Well, while we were there I started to get dizzy and she had me take my blood pressure there to check on it. Well, that time it was 147/87! So, I called my doctor and of course they wanted to see me immediately! I started crying in the middle of Walmart and poor Stef was trying to get me to calm down. LOL!
So, at the doctors office my blood pressure was still high. I did the urine sample which was negative for protein...good sign. They had me lay on my left side for 25 minutes. When they checked it again... it was 117/70. Which is awesome! My doctor comes in and she is worried about me and said she wants to be overly cautious that I'm not developing preeclampsia. :( So, I go in Wednesday morning for my glucose test and several other blood tests to check for preeclampsia. I also have to do a 24-hour urine collection and I'm on bedrest! Fun Fun Fun! It's so scary! I'm just praying so hard that this little boy is doing okay and that he comes when he's ready and not because I've developed preeclampsia. We have another appointment Monday morning to get the test results and I guess we'll go from there.
Keep us in your prayers!
Hugs,
Ashley
