I went in for another apt and NST yesterday. My bp had been running on the high side all day and by the time they hooked me up with the nst, it really started going up. I'm sure I do it to my self with worrying about it. I ended up in L&D until almost 9pm. They ran some bloodwork - no signs of pre-e (good thing). Just high bp's (not such a good thing) They switched my bp med to Labetalol and that really helped to bring things down last night. I haven't checked it yet today. I figure I shouldn't stress about it since I know that stress does terrible things to it.
I'm at home today collecting all my pee for a 24 hr urine test (LOVELY!) and spending all my time on the couch. I'm up on the recliner right now for a while (oh my crazy life!) I have to stay home tomorrow yet and then I'll start working MWF only next week. Hopefully the few days of relaxation plus starting to work part time next week help things out.
I'm going crazy with this forced laying around already though. When I could do it on my own when I wanted to this summer -- it was awesome! Now that they said I HAD to do it --- not so much fun:-( Hopefully I don't go completely crazy by the weekend!
