37w1d Appointment

Things went relatively well... B/P was better, but I had 1+ protein in my urine... I've had increased swelling, headaches, and dizziness so as of Thursday I'll most likely be out of work....he asked me why I was still working and I told him (A) because you never told me I couldn't and (B) because I was told that PIH patients were allowed (generally) to work up until 38 weeks (by his office's standards)... He then told me that unless things improve drastically by Thursday morning's appointment that I'll be out of work as of Thursday morning. We'll be doing another internal on Thursday and if my cervix is favorable, we'll be discussing an induction. NST went well - Meghan got quite pissed off at the sensors...started kicking the crap out of 'em towards the end of the test and trying to roll out of the way. We did more blood work and he said that the results of the tests will also play a factor in where we go on Thursday. I only had one day of fingerstick results that he was unhappy with (and I admitted to him that I had a Twix (just one of the sticks - not both!) that day because I felt really shakey - so he wasn't too upset. He also put me on Visteril because I am not sleeping at night and the Tylenol/Tylenol PM is no longer working...Thank GOODNESS. A full nights sleep could be in my future!!! (Well, at least until Meghan comes that is!)
