I’m Supposed to be Laying Down….

But I really am tired of being in bed. I went to the doctor today. My weight jumped from 264 to 275. That’s eleven pounds in two weeks. I’ve been really good until now, only gaining about a pound a week, but this really isn’t my fault. Its all water from swelling. I can’t even make a fist right now. Joseph had to pull my wedding band off my finger last night. I guess I won’t be wearing it for a while.

Ohh and my blood pressure was like 180/132. Something like that. I can’t remember the exact numbers now. I’m no expert, but from what I understand, the bottom number is what is really bad. It is actually supposed to sit below 80. I’m not for sure, guess I should go and look that up.

I had that group B strep test done. It really wasn’t that big of a deal, just a little uncomfortable. I would say not anymore so than a damned pap smear. I guess I won’t find out the results of that until I find out if I have to take the antibiotics for it. That won’t even happen until delivery day.

Anything else? Nope? Guess that wasn’t really that interesting of a post, ohh well. Y’all take care.

Sorry for all your discomfort. Has the Dr. said anything about Toxemia or Pre-Eclampsia? Be careful if you are retaining a lot of water and have elevated blood pressure. Don’t eat salt at all. drink a lot of plain water, not pop. Take care. May I pray for yu? When are you due?

Never mind, on the due date, I feel so stupid. sorry. Just be careful, as you near the end of the pregnancy this is when this sort of thing gets more serious. I am not trying to scare you, just, give you knowledge. Hasn’t the Dr. said anything about this? Look up Toxemia and Pre-Eclampsia online. Maybe some info can help you. hugzzzzz.

did they give you anything for the BP? I am surprised they did not throw your bottom into the hospital for preclempsia! Take it easy! I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

If your blood pressure was that high, they would have put you in the hospital. Are you sure that it was that high??
