I gained one whole pound...and my B/P is still up too high...he's doubled my B/P medication and pretty much ordered that it's bed or work and that's about it. I can have one "outing" a week and I'm to "take it easy". He got very indepth as to what my job entails and says that if doubling the meds doesn't work, he may take me out. My urine was positive (again *sigh*) for protein and I had some blood in my urine. They did all the cultures today and a cervical check...still up high and closed. She appears to be head down at this point. I told him about the few contractions I've been having and he said not to worry unless I get 6 or more in an hour. He did more bloodwork and I have another ultrasound scheduled for Tuesday. He wants to make sure of her growth and to see how much amniotic fluid she has - honestly, I think he's doing it just to make me happy since even he said she was growing a little ahead and had enough fluid at the January U/S...but I'm not going to complain - and insurance will pay for it, so why not?
They (the office) made sure that we have the carseat so we can take her home and the nurse (we had the nice one today :smile:) said to "keep her in there at least 5 more days"...which confused me... The Dr didn't seem to think there was anything imminent, but the nurse has always been more worried about my B/P than the Dr has...
I think that's about it- to be honest, I don't remember much of the visit - I do remember nearly passing out after getting up from the cervical check and cultures...poor Scott and the look he had on his face. What do they expect is going to happen when you go from laying down to sitting up so quickly?
They also gave us a "36 Week Packet" of information - I swear it weighs 5lbs...LITERALLY. A bunch of magazines and paraphenalia on Post Partum Depression (PPD) and getting ready for baby, etc.
