Bed rest day 22.
Just a quick update - Saw the OB again Friday and she upped my labetalol (I'm now on 400mg twice daily). Ultrasound looked great, Little Girl is still growing, moving and practicing breathing.
I see the perinatologist on Monday.

33 weeks 1 day
Bed rest day 13.
I am seeing a perinatologist on Dec 5. I am to stay on strict bed rest until he clears me, with at least modified bed rest until delivery. i.e. no more work for me. I will run out of my paid time off/disability 2 weeks after our due date. So that is going to make for an interesting financial situation but we will manage!
Had another bpp/non-stress test today - all is good! She scored 10/10 :) I hope she continues to do well and ignore her mother's high blood pressure!
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! We did!

First BPP
Had our first biophysical profile today. Little Girl looks great so that was a big relief. My bp was 138/88 in the office on the labetalol and no protein in my urine today so so far so good. Complete bed rest continues on a week by week basis. Next appt is Wednesday. BP right now (3 hours from next med dose) was 155/111. Hmm. She told me to call if diastolic (bottom #) was above 90. I told her it gets higher as my dose nears and she said, "as long as your dose is coming up that's fine". I am a little confused.
My amazing Momma stayed with me this past week and waited on me hand and foot. She left a few hours ago and I miss her terribly. I love you Momma!
Now my poor husband must pick up the major slack around here. He is a wonderful husband and I'm sure he will be able to do this but it worries me - he is so busy and stressed at work right now.
Okay, I have had my head propped up for long enough, back to my left side now. Thanks for all of the support ladies. xoxo

Bed Rest
Dramatic turn here. I've been to L+D 3 times in the last 11 days. The highest my pressure has been is 200/120 Monday night. Today at my appt it was 160/110. I have been started on a beta blocker (labetalol 300mg twice daily) and am on bed rest until further notice. The medicine is making me feel a little light-headed (like taking sudafed, all fuzzy inside) but better than having a stroke or a seizure.
I am now scheduled for biophysical profile ultrasounds and appointments weekly.
Does anyone have any personal experience with this? Or any good blogs of women who dealt with high blood pressure in pregnancy?
