19-10-2008 - high blood pressure

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

So, Thursday I had a doc apt.. I thought it would just be like every other...listen to the heart rate ask some questions..

BUT it turned out my bp was way up. I could have guessed it would be cuz earlier that day it felt like my heart was beating out of my chest. So right away he tells me we'll have to think about delivering the baby if it stays up...I'm like huh? what? totally shocked me. But also...thrilled me ..even though I know that isn't the best scenario obviously!! I just for a moment got caught up in the idea of actually having all this part over and SHE WOULD BE HERE!! hahhaha

ANYWAY he said I'd have to come in the next day...it was still high..he scheduled me for another u/s and non-stress test Monday but they had a cancellation so I was able to go Friday. Everything was great..fluid was good..baby was rockin around...she measured at 5lbs 11 oz..wow I thought..that was big..but I guess she's in the 70percentile for this stage. Then upstairs for the non stress and it went well too. I have no protein in my urine and bp was actually measuring ok after the test.

He asked that I go over the weekend Sat and today to check my bp at the hosp...both times high..now I see him tomorrow early and we'll see what he says. ..I've never had high bp..always very low..I have no swelling or protein...so to me I just think it's part of the game of pregnancy...but I'm also glad he's taking it so seriously and I know it is serious. I just want Madelyne to be safe and ok.. I have to realize this is actually happening to me and I better accept that it could get more serious. SOOO yeah...oh he also put me on some pills to lower my bp. I don't want to have to be induced or have her so much earlier than term...but I'll do anything to keep her safe. I just pray she can stay put till 37 at least!! My lil girl is so busy in there and I saw her lil face on the u/s friday and she has my lips hahhha...sure they may just look like that now..but I just love her. I know I'll probably have to take it easy till she does come and that might be frustrating..but hey..I've had a pretty easy time throughout ..so I can handle it.

My hubby is great with all of this and won't let me overdo it. I'm so lucky to have such a great man in my life. Today was our 2 yr anniversary (from our first date) It's been the best 2 yrs of my life. And we have so much to look forward to.

Anyway enough babbling..hopefully tomorrow goes well and he doesn't see high #s on my bp!! What would happen if he does? Will I have to go on bedrest? Will he want to induce me so soon? Will I take a stronger pill? I will update!
