Stressed and need advice please ladies!
I am currently 32 (almost 33) weeks pregnant. I am being induced at 37 weeks due to high bp and mild preeclampsia. I had to switch to a high risk ob practice at 28 weeks because my dr only delivers at the local hospital that does not have a nicu. My bp has steadily increased, even with an increase in medication (labetalol). Its usually in the 130s/90s as soon as I wake up. As the day goes on, all it does is increase. Today, my highest reading was 155/94. I was told to go to L&D; for any reading of over 150/90 (either or both #s). I have had blood work 2x for preeclampsia. 1st was at my old dr when my kidney functions came back low. 2nd was at new ob and they said it was fine. I keep having protein in my urine and my bp continues to rise. Work is causing me tons of stress because im picking up slack from another co worker who does whatever she wants. My dr doesnt really beleive in bed rest so its no need to mention that I feel like. How in the world do I deal?! I want him to stay in until at least 37 weeks so Im terrified to go to L&D.; To make matters worse, he is still not head down and they found at my last ultrasound that he has extra fluid in his kidneys. Im just beyond stressed and frustrated. Im at a loss and welcome any advice!!
