39 week visit`

well this visit was a little different. First off my blood pressure was a good bit higher then normal so she was a little concerned. It was 132/82 which normally i'm around 112/70. So with that and the swelling in my feet she wanted to monitor the baby for 30 min to check the heart rate and make sure the baby wasn't under any stress. Also they were getting a high reading on my protein in my urine so they sent that off to there lab to have it checked with higher accuracy. After the lab looked at it, it wasn't as high as they first said but still high.

So I did the heart rate monitoring for 30 min and the baby is great! she said he/she was very very happy!!! She then took my blood pressure again and it was actually higher. So she wants me off my feet for 24 hours. I had to go and get some blood work done in the lab and I have to collect all my urine for 24 hours so they can check it. So i'm doing that and taking it back tomorrow. then I have to go back on Thursday and they want to check everything again! i'm not sure what time yet I haven't made the appt. I'm guessing that they might induce me if nothing changes by Thursday and I haven't gone into labor on my own.

I haven't dilated any more ,but she did say that she had to go around the baby's head to check my cervix so it was pretty much thinned out, so thats a good thing. The baby has moved down a little in my pelvis so thats good too!

I'm guessing that they are not extremely concerned or they would of just sent me straight to the hospital, but they are very supportive of letting my body go into labor on its own, b/c its makes everything better then forcing it.

so i'm going to stay at home tomorrow and take it easy and we will see what happens!!!

We will let you know if anything big happens before then, I promise!!!!

love you
