Well, I had severe pre-eclampsia that resulted in the premature birth of my son. He was born at 33+5, first symptoms at 31+4. It developed into severe quickly.
At 31+3 I had a (probably a random one off, but the timing could not be worse) high BP reading at OB. That was exactly what happened with DS.
So far, my BP readings have been okay since, OB is having me monitor at home and come back in Friday (32+0) to be reassessed there.
I can't concentrate at work. All I am doing is stressing about the pregnancy, I'm not getting any work done. I'm stressed out to the max right now and trying not to worry, and I feel all I am doing at work is wasting my employers time and money and stressing myself out further. I plan to quit working when the baby is born anyway, I'd really like to quit now.
I have heard that bedrest (which I'm not thinking about doing yet) doesn't really help pre-e that much, but it can usually help keep your BP from getting dangerously high. My gut is just telling me I need to go ahead and quit. I don't know why.
I'm worried that the stress is making me irrational, but on the other hand I'd like to spend a little time being a SAHM to DS alone before the new baby gets here anyway. It would be lovely to have a little time with him anyway.
Am I crazy? Is it just the stress or would it be a good idea to go ahead and quit?
