update: worried I was getting pre-e

Ok, I posted last week about blood pressure being high sitting up but ok laying on left side and spilling 2plus protein when the doc did NOTHING about it...not even send me home telling me to take it easy. I used the good sense God gave me and pushed fluids and have been laying on my left side except to go to the bathroom, get my son food, and eat/digest a bit myself. It must have paid off b/c I was spilling trace protein at my NST and no protein at the doctor's office. Also, my blood pressure was high in every position except the left side, so the nst nurse sent me home on bedrest except to go potty. The doctor told me just keep using my judgment and taking it easy. So relieved it isn't pre-e (at least for now) and so relieved that they passed their nst with flying colors. I go back Monday morning for one more and then next Friday is THE DAY!

Thats great news! So you only have a little over a week to go...YEA!!!

 

Wow!!!! It will be here before you know it!!! Glad that things are going well!!!

 

K, sorry, Idiot Dr!!!! Keep on trusting your instincts, your doing great!

 

Clearly MOTHER knows best in this situation! Keep it up, and those babies will be here soon (but not too soon...)! I'm really happy for you!

I am suprised that they didn't do a blood test to see if you truly had pre-e.....that is what they did for me and I had my boys at 36 weeks because of it (it was just baginning).

 

Ditto on the 'idiot doctor and MOTHER knows best!"

Great going; hope the rest of the time passes easily and you stay on your side and hydrated!

 

WooHoo!! Glad you don't have full on pre-e - and wow - one week from today you'll be holding your sweet babies.
My doc finally scheduled my c/s - 2 weeks from tomorrow - I'll be 39 weeks. I'm a little bitter.
