I had a scheduled
appointment today with my
dr. at 8:45 today. Well I didn't leave until 1pm. So my blood pressure once again is elevated and they tested it like 10 times at the docs office and it was 140/90...yep a little high. So they decided to send me over to the hospital to be monitored and have a bunch of tests run after an ultrasound to take bio measurements of baby.
Its
definitely a girl. No question about that. At 36 weeks she is measuring what they said was a little big.....7lbs already. Eek.
Thats how much Nicholas weighed when he was born at 38 weeks. I'm already 3 cm
dilated. Holy
frijolies is pretty much what I said, but I shouldn't be
surprised w/ all the contractions I've been having the last week or so. Especially over the weekend. I think its safe to say I will not be making it to March 18
th. So they took me to the hospital and hooked me up to everything, contraction monitor and baby monitor. She is looking perfectly healthy. Good strong heart beat and good movement. and I'm actually having fairly regular contractions. Nothing to write home about, but I suspect when this little girl is ready, I'm going to need a fast track to the hospital. Anyway they monitored me, took blood and everything started looking good. They didn't let me eat or drink anything until the test results came back just
in case they decided to induce me. That was awful. I was starving and I was already thirsty when I went into the
drs office at 8:30. Then on top of it all, I forgot my book and anything to DO. Luckily Beverly Hills
Chiuwawa was on, I must say it was a cute movie. Sad, I was sitting there all by myself w/ nothing to do giggling at the silliest movie.
So all the tests came back and my blood pressure is still a BIT high, but better than what it was. They sent me home but I'm now on bed rest. Not sure what that means, but I'm my world, I don't do bed rest. So I guess I have to really try hard for this little girl. I've already had trouble "resting". I kinda needed to pack my hospital bag and dinner
doesn't cook itself.
I have an
appt on Thursday where I will be full term and I guess if my blood pressure is still elevated they may go ahead and induce. i guess its not that bad considering she is
technically measuring full term anyway. Better this way b/c if we waited until the due date she may very well be a 10
pounder....
Ahhhh!!!
