Bed Rest

So they released me from the hospital. Most of the time my blood pressure was good. It did shoot up a couple of times though even when I was just laying there. One time when I sat up to eat, it was so high that it sounded an alarm. That was kinda scary. It was 155/100, but it went back down. She still doesn't think it is preeclampsia though because my blood pressure does go down, I have protein in my urine anyway from the blood being there from the stent, my blood work is normal, and I don't have any of the other symptoms like swelling, abdominal pain, or bad headache that won't go away. So, for now she has me on modified bed rest until my next appointment which is Monday, and she wants to see me twice a week to keep an eye on it.

This whole bed rest thing is starting to get to me. It just has me depressed because I should be nesting and going on last non-parent dates with hubby and being excited in general, but i'm having a hard time being happy. I've already been limited in what I could do for the past two months because of the stent. Now I can't do anything. It takes a toll on the emotions, but hopefully, I'll be dialated enough Monday that the doctor will want to go ahead and induce.

Also, the bladder pain is getting worse and not even laying down helps anymore, which might mean she has dropped. I hope that's the case because I'm ready for this to over.
