oh no pebbie hun I'm sorry to hear your bp has gone up again let us know how you are doing! sounds like you're in the best place though to be sure you and baby are well cared for xxx

 

[pebbie1]

Thanks ladies! I'm kept in overnight and then see what it's like tomorrow. Am started on Labetalol for my bp and will have that for the rest of the pregnancy. Fingers crossed it settles a bit tomorrow as when they checked it again half an hour ago it still was 153/86. Will let you know tomorrow xxxx

Morning all, Hope everyone is well.
Going to my sewing course today get some more of my baby quilt done Had to miss last week because of the hospital appointment but hoping to catch up today I'll upload some pics when I'm back x

I love sewing!! It's my major passion what else are you making for baby?
I've made all of my burp cloths, bibs and travel changing mats so far.
I'm currently working on upholstering a footstool for my lounge but once that's done I think I'm going to try a play may forthr nursery. That's if I can get around with this stupid bad muscle.

I haven't thought about anything else yet, Just want to get this crib quilt made in time, I had to miss a few of the classes down to appointments so I am a bit behind. x

Yeah its mad how they will be changing direction as of today!
Best of luck hope they can sort it asap.

 

[OmiOmen]

I really hope that the tablets help. I can't imagine how stressed you must be right now.

 

[pebbie1]

Thanks Omi. Very stressed! The doctor said its pregnancy hypertension and the start of pe. Think the fact he gave me the steroid shots stressed me out the most! That's still a scary thought that he wants the lungs to mature now

 

[OmiOmen]

It is good that they can give you the tablets though. I started off like that but my BP was up and down enough they couldn't give me them. So as far as your BP is concerned they have a much better chance of controlling it now. It must be scary to know they want his/her lungs to mature.

Will you be having twice weekly checks now?

 

[pebbie1]

He's coming back later during the day to discuss whats going to happen, but already said I'm going to get loads more checks.
I'm glad I can get the meds too. Yesterday from 4pm - 10pm it kept being above 153/86. During the night it went to 130/86 so it looks like the Labetalol is starting to work.

 

[OmiOmen]

I'm really glad that it they seem to be working. I have my FX they can control it for a long while longer.

 

[CLH_X3]

Good luck pebble! Must b scary!

 

[babyface15]

oh my well I'm glad the pills are working to get your bp down. I'm sure they're only giving you the steroids just to be safe. rest well now hun, are you done work?

 

[pebbie1]

I've got 3 weeks left so we'll see how that is going to go. I have no idea :s

 

[Little Ducky]

Glad it seems like things are starting to work Pebbie!

 

[pebbie1]

Thanks ladies! Much appreciated. Bp was raised again before lunch and the consultant wants to do a growth scan which might be today. Fingers crossed I can go home today.
Got my second steroid jab and oh boy, they sting like hell!!!

 

[pebbie1]
