I guess I'll start at the beginning. Last Sunday I was at my in-laws & I was sitting in a chair that decided to break out from under me. I was a little worried about it because of the pregnancy, but I didn't have any bleeding or pain & the little one was still moving around, so I didn't think too much about it. On Wednesday I noticed that the baby hadn't been moving that much, so I started to get a little concerned. Thursday I still had only felt him move a couple of times (which is very odd for him), so I called my doctor. We went in Thursday afternoon to make sure everything was okay with the baby. Everything was fine - apparently he was just having a quiet couple of days because he is back to normal now.
When I went it they took my blood pressure & my urine sample. My blood pressure has been high for a couple of months & no one seemed that concerned, but at this last appointment I also had protein in my urine. High blood pressure + protein can often equal toxemia (also called pre-eclampsia). So the dr. sent me to the hospital for a 24 hr. admittance to collect my urine (so exciting!) They released me after 4 hrs. & I did the rest of the collection at home. I returned the "sample" on Friday afternoon.
Today I go back to see the results of the tests. Hopefully it's okay, but if not, I'll end up with diet restrictions, bedrest at home, or if it's really bad bedrest in the hospital. So pray for me today. My appointment is at 1:15 & hopefully everything is okay. I'll keep you all up to date!!!
