new update...bedrest...blah blah

My last day of work was yesterday, and today I go to my OB for mre blood to be drawn to do another Preeclampsia panel. Blood pressure has been wonky, so they are keeping a closer eye on me. Well, they officially put me on bedrest today. I can go to my shower on Sunday, can take a shower daily, and can drive myself to Dr appts as of right now. Other than that, basically giving orders to get what I need!!! Dr. said that realistically, these babies are probably coming in the next 2- 4 weeks, so I guess I am glad that I made it this far and stayed active. Both babies are doing well, cervix long, and closed, so I guess here I sit and grow babies!
I also have no other signs of preeclampsia , no swelling, no protien in my urine, so hopefully we manage the BP with just the bedrest and preay I don't develop the other signs...

 

Just follow doctor's orders and hopefully you won't have any problem going another 4 weeks!
I know bedrest sucks, but sometimes it's the best medicine.

Hang in there! :hug99:

 

Well I'm glad to hear you don't have any other signs of pre-e. Enjoy the time you have at home, trust me I know how boring it can be but you will be nice and busy after the babies come. Good for you on staying active this whole time. I was a total slug and I gained 90lbs Have fun at your shower!

 

Hi There,

I'm in a similar situation.. I'm at 31 weeks and have rising blood pressure. No protein in urine yet and bp isn't too high but the doctor requested I go on bed rest since she didn't like the upward trend of the bp. I'm finding it really boring as well, but I guess we're lucky to have done well so far. I started reading some books in French... I thought I could try and use the time to better myself. I've also been watching a lot of TV.. I find my brain is working very slowly and my memory is totally impaired. I can't wait until these babies are born!

On a side note, Dr. called this morning and the pre-e bloodwork looked good.
