So the other night I was having a KILLER headache, blurry vision, kind of nauseous etc...
had my neighbor help me take my blood pressure....it was lots higher than normal,
called the on-call dr. and was advised to go up to LDS hospital...since that's where I will deliver.
Went up, blood pressure was about 160/105....
my normal throughout pregnancy is 105/58
so that was high.
Got admitted, blood drawn, urine tested...blah blah....
baby monitored....
baby looked great!!!
So I guess I was having a little preeclampsia......
I kept hearing the Dr. say "get her blood type incase we do her section (c/section) tonight...
what?
I am not ready for that.....that's not in my plan!!
Anyway, long story short.....stayed through the night.....blood pressure was down by the time I went home...
still had protein in my urine....went home with a 24 hr. urine collection kit...
that's fun.
Didn't have to deliver my baby that night....
and now I am told to REST.....hmmmmm.
the funny thing now is that since I had a little scare.....and had to think of all the things I still
want to do before I deliver....
it's hard to rest....
but i'm trying...I really am.
Except today I went to Costco...
on a Saturday.
And we all know, that's not rest.
But I did stock up on things we needed...
and I am far enough along that if the baby comes, it's not that big of a deal...
however, I have Easter, then Chloe's bday, then Kase's bday
to get through before I have this kid!
However, I have since learned that I really am not in charge...
grrrr......
anyway, I am fine...baby is fine....
all is good.

Ugh sounds kinda scary! I'm sure everything will be fine of you have to deliver early but I know you want him in there as long as possible! Good luck and sit your butt down woman!

Im there with you Michelle. SUCKS!! I have to do a 24 hour urine ONCE A WEEK! I dont know whats more of a pain, doing the test or driving up to IMC. Guess I am prepping my patience for when I start non stress tests in 2 weeks, when I have to go up TWICE a week, FUN FUN!! I hope you are feeling better. I also went to costco yesterday, STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPID thing to do. Utah county women are CRAZY in costco. I wanted to go sit in a corner and have all the samples brought to me.
hang in there and take a nap :)
What are you doing at Costco?! Take a nap while you still have the chance! Every day!!! This year the baby can be the birthday present/party/etc. and the OTHER Easter Bunny can take care of Easter. Go take a nap. It's the one thing you won't regret once baby comes! :)
I could have gone to Costco for you with your list! Don't ever do something like that again!! You stay on that couch! I'm a really good Easter Bunny AND birthday party thrower too....what can I do?
Seriously Michelle. I say relax... you know... as much as you can with 3 kids...
But, I FORBID you to go to Costco. No more. Just call me and I'll run there for you. And I can help Chiara throw parties.
And I had no idea that there was such a thing as a 24 hour urine test. Sounds like you are having a party over there... hang in there!
So glad everything is okay!! I can't believe only 24 days til baby due!!
