Bedrest.....

Well unfortunately this will more than likely be the last update until I have the baby. I have been put on bedrest. I went to the doctor Wednesday and he immediatly put me in Southern Hills because of my blood pressure, but right now all my blood work came back good so at this time i'm not toxemic/preeclamptic. I ust have high blood pressure when they took it at the doctors office it was 190/100.....if I can keep it down with bedrest they won't have to take the baby. If they had to now it would be fine but if I can make it another 2 weeks He'll be full-term and I can have him at Stonecrest which I like a whole lot better. So I guess i'll go back to bed now.
So I'll let ya'll know when i've got a little one!!!

Good luck!

Hi...I'm kinda new and I really haven't met you but I wanted to wish you good luck with your baby. Maybe it will be a good thing that you get to rest up before it comes and you are really busy. I hope we can chat sometime on AIM.

I've been on bedrest with all four of my pregnancies that went far enough for bedrest to help, my advice is to take up a hobby, or you WILL go crazy! During my pregnancy with Kayla I took up cross stitching, and got pretty good. Make sure you have plenty of books, a tv a vcr a remote plenty of healthy (or at least semi-heathly, and ice cream counts it's got calcium :wink: ) snacks around for the day ahead. Also, as hard as it is, try to have some kind of schedule, because that does make it easier, and get dressed and do your make-up and hair every day like you normally would, because that makes the day seem shorter.

I´m sorry about that. Have someone to bring you some good books and try to do some things you have been putting off lately ... you won´t have time for them afterwards ... so now it´s the best time to read all the books you want to read, write all the letters you want to write etc. Good luck, we´ll be thinking of you.
