Officially on Bedrest

Ariel • 🤵👰 Mrs. MGR 5 January 2019 🤱 Mommy to MJR 2 October 2019 and ALMR October 2023 🤱

I'm currently 34 weeks and 3 days pregnant and just got put on bedrest because I am showing EVERY SINGLE symptom of preeclampsia (have been for a few weeks now - the severe headaches, seeing spots, dizziness, nausea, swelling, high BP, pain just below my breasts, etc) and yet my bloodwork keeps coming back clean - as does my urine. Today was the first time they found a tiny bit of protein in it.

My BP this morning was 156/101 so they had me come in to be seen and then sent me to L&D for monitoring. They almost kept me overnight, but my BP lowered down to a closer to normal number and my doctor decided I could go home but would be on bedrest indefinitely. He also wants me to see him again within the next 2 business days.

I guess I'm mostly just venting, but would also love to hear y'all's similar stories and what the outcome was. Lord knows I'll have plenty of time to lay here and read them. 🙃
