Currently almost 34 weeks. Previous pregnancy I had preeclampsia and was on at home bed rest and induced at 37 weeks. Since then, I’ve moved to another city and have a new OB.

My BP has been high again but no sign of protein in my urine. I’m currently on at home bed rest. I went into the hospital for high BP, seeing spots, and swelling the other night and they explained to me if I get a preeclampsia diagnosis they will admit me until I am 37 weeks. I would not be allowed to leave the hospital.

I’m a stay at home Mom while my husband works crazy hours that change often. Sometimes he’s days or nights. We have two pets at home. How the heck would that work? We have no childcare or family that could take our daughter for extended period of time, we can’t drop a bunch of money on daycare. We have a dog that needs to be let out. How the heck do people do hospital stays for that long when they have children and pets at home?
