30 Weeks

No pictures with this post but i just wanted to update myself about what has been going on the past week. Pregnancy is getting a little scary for me. last Sunday i woke up sooooooo dizzy, actually it was more like i was falling to the left. I started not feeling good to but i still decided to go to church. The dizziness stayed for 6 hours! It was miserable. So we finally got home and Chance took my blood pressure and it was 154/102! WWWWAAAYYYYY too high! So i called my on call doctor and he told me to go to labor and delivery to get monitored. So on our way out i had one of my friends husbands, who is a respiratory therapist, check my blood pressure again just to make sure and it was still super high! So off to the hospital we went. I ended up being there for 2 hours to make sure everything was ok. When i got there my blood pressure was 164/102. That scared me really bad. But as soon as i relaxed and laid down my blood pressure went down to 138/85 (still high but that is what it has been at for a couple weeks) They ran tests and everything came back really really good. So i was put on strict bed rest until i could go see my doctor in a couple days. I took it very seriously. I did not want Bailee coming at 29 weeks! My doctor called me the next day and told me i needed to go back to the hospital and pick up a prescription for blood pressure meds. So i did that and also got monitored again. And handed in my 24 urine tests. Turns out my levels went down and i no longer have preclampsia! VERY good news!! So i went to my doctor the next day and was on my blood pressure med and my blood pressure was amazing! 120/72! Lowest it has been in a while. He told me i can be back to modified bed rest and i should be good. As i was leaving i started getting really dizzy and not feeling good. But i didnt think anything of it because i had just read that that was normal in your third trimester. The next day was great but then the morning after that it got bad. I woke up and took my pill. Then got in the shower and i got so dizzy i almost passed out. I had a severe headache, nausea and super shaky. I immediately laid down. the symptoms were still there after like 2 hours so i called my doctor and he sent me straight to labor and delivery to be monitored again. Everything looked great. We figured out that the blood pressure meds were dropping my blood pressure down too low! My goodness my body just cant make up its mind. So my doctor told me to cut the dose in half and see if that works. It seems to be working today. Yesterday i still had the same symptoms but not as bad so this morning i decided that i would take the pill and lay down for two hours without getting up. NO SYMPTOMS! So i guess that will be the new plan!

On a more spiritual note. Chance went to the temple this morning and prayed really hard about whether or not little Bailee was going to come too early and if she would be ok. Obviously both of us have been praying about this for quite some time. Thankfully Chance got confirmation that as long as we do our part we have at least 1 month and she will be healthy. That would put me at 34 weeks which is the safe zone. We could have her after but we are lucky to at least be getting one more month. I am so thankful to be a part of the gospel. It brings so much comfort that i can simply ask and get an answer followed by peace and comfort. I am put at such great ease to know that my little Bailee is going to be taken care of and that everything is going to be ok. I cant wait to meet her but i dont want to meet her for at least another 4 weeks, hopefully longer!
