I thought things were going well. School started. I was tired but things were good. I went in for another non stress test this morning. Emily was doing exactly what she was supposed to be doing - moving around -- maybe a bit too much but things were good there. My blood pressure was 143/93 when I first went in. I figured OK -- it usually goes down. Not this time:-( The longer I'm there - the higher it goes. It ended up at 143/109. The midwife mentioned the possibility of bedrest at some point during this pregnancy. Not what I wanted to hear! They raised my bp meds to 3x a day and unless I'm at work, I'm to be a couch potato. Even at work, they want me taking it easy. I go back tomorrow for another test and we'll go from there. Hopefully I can at least get a couple more weeks in at work. She even suggested the possibility of working a couple of days a week and staying home on bedrest the others. I'm going to have to bring that possibility up to admin. on Tuesday. At least my sub will be happy -- she'll probably end up with extra days. It also means that I'll definitely be going back after Thanksgiving.
Why is it that I'm having such a rough time with everything? I'm really starting to think Emily might be an only child if this doesn't go any better:-(
