I think I need a hug...34wk appt

Well at my 33wk appt last wk you know he had me start checking my blood sugar 4 times a day. Well it's not a big deal, doesn't even really hurt. My sugar has been great! He also had me checking my BP everyday as well. I noticed the last few days that it was a little elevated. Well I went in today and my BP was 150/90!!! They took it 3 times and it was the same everytime. He wasn't happy about that. Then they decided to do an u/s, b/c I had some light bleeding(cervix is still closed and long) and discovered she is measuring almost 37wks- est. 6lbs, 2ozs. That's the 99th precentile at this stage. He said we might do the c/s at 38wks, but if my bp stays up maybe at 37wks. I'm on bed rest tonight and I go in the morning for a non stress test and BP check. Then he wants to see me again on Monday. Just say a prayer that my bp goes down and I stay calm. Thanks everyone for listening to me drone on and on!

Amber,
I'm SOO sorry your BP is high:( But the good thing is you might be able to have her at 37 weeks, which is full term and only 3 weeks away!!:)
I will say a prayer that everything goes ok, I know how stressful it is to have problems with your pregnancy...just relax, it will be over soon. ((((((((HUGS))))))))))

Don't worry Amber, you can never "drone on and on."

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I went back in for my NST test this morning and everything looked great! Ava was kicking all over and the nurse was cracking up at how active she is. My BP was soooo much better today, too! I go back to see my dr Mon morning. I'll let y'all know if anything happens. (((Hugs)))
