28 weeks

I am now 28 weeks and i am actually feeling good. Except the fact that i am on bedrest :( I saw my doctor last Tuesday and i thought everything was going to be great. I was feeling good, minus all the bladder infections, but little did i know that i have high blood pressure! Man o Man i didnt have to deal with this last time so it is a little scary for me! So my doctor had me do a 24 hour urine test (horrible!) and then he had me take it to labor and delivery the next day and also get steroid shots (to help the babies lungs mature quicker if she is born early) and some blood work and a non stress test. It was quite eventful considering i thought i was doing great! Well some more bad news..... The urine sample came back with elevated protein in my urine, which means i have mild preclampsia. So they will have to monitor me closely and make sure my levels dont go up too high. So needless to say, i am pretty sure i am on bedrest for the rest of my pregnancy. Lets just hope and pray she stays in till at least 37 weeks.
