Bed rest
This morning I went in for a regular checkup and I was just not feeling well at all my blood pressure had been high at the last few appointments but not too serious but this morning it was 150/100 and my feet were extremely swollen and I was really dehydrated so my doctor sent me straight to labor and delivery for observation. They kept me there for a few hours and monitored me and ran a bunch of tests. I am home on bed rest now and they are monitoring me for pre-eclampsia with how high my pressures are they are giving me steroids to develop the baby's lungs so that she can come earlier than planned if needed. We don't know when she will come yet but if my pressures don't go down i will need to have her early because that was my resting blood pressure and it just went up when I would move around. I have been feeling dizzy and I fell down the stairs a few days ago when we were visiting popi I have just been feeling awful lately and when I was walking down the stairs I literally just fell down it was weird. The baby looks great so that is good. When I was in the hospital i was having contractions on the monitor but I wasn't responding at all to them finally the nurse asked me if I was feeling anything and I said no she was really surprised that I honestly had no idea I was having contractions. I didn't feel anything she said they were strong enough I should have been at the very least noticing them. Dallin and I have been taking a birth class which we are really enjoying. I don't think bed rest will be too bad because I have been feeling so horrible that I pretty much just lay on the couch all day anyways so not much has changed. My mom and dad brought us dinner tonight because the doctor told me no cooking or cleaning for now. I already have the baby's room ready so I don't have to worry about that we are pretty much ready whenever she is I will be 37 weeks on august 2nd which is considered full term so I will at least need to make it until then.
