Ok. Update on my health status.
The blood pressure grey zone....
Last night we went to labor and delivery and were there for 3 hours for observation. After my doctors appointment on Monday, my doctor said to come in immediately if I had a headache...sure enough I developed one. They hooked me up to a blood pressure cuff and monitors for Charlie. My blood pressure bounced all over the place but seemed to be consistently above 130/95. I've had readings around 141/109 and so therefor I am kinda in a bit of a dangerous place. The problem is that I am too high risk to be just a regualr OBGYN patient, and I am not at risk enough to be in labor and delivery. So, here we stay.
Being pregnant is a lot of things. Glamorous is not one of them. Due to the increased blood pressure, the docotor ordered a 24 hour urine test. Let me explain what this is...You get a bucket to put on the toilet, and a huge bright orange jug. Every time you pee for 24 hours you catch it and put it in the jug. Since we had to go to labor and delivery, I had to bring my jug with me and continue doing the test if i had to pee while at the L&D department. It was to remove any last shreds of dignity I had left before Charlie comes.
So, test results have come back and my liver and everything are good and Charlie is good...but my headache is WORSE. I feel selfish for being concerned about my own health. But, in all honesty this headache is so bad i can't imagine pushing and delivering with it. I am on bed rest and i just keep crying because my head hurts soooooo bad. I want relief but I dont want to go back to Labor and Delivery just to be sent home after 3 hours and being EXTRA uncomfortable for nothing.
I am just miserable.
I feel guilty for feeling worried about myself.
Charlie is VERY healthy though.
So, if my blood pressure stays how it is. I will be induced next Friday. I go in tomorrow for more blood pressure tests, and then next week pretty much every day leading up to Friday. That's all I got. I am not proofing this because my head hurts. Deal with it.
