Mild Bed Rest Update

Just went to the Dr's...was just there last week and have to go again on Thursday...my blood pressure is still elevated. I'm on a touch and go basis. Since I'm only 37 weeks on Thursday, he wants to play it by ear and see if I can go into labor on my own as I get closer to my due date. That is only if my blood pressure stays in control. If it doesn't...then they are considering inducing me. SO, that said, I will not be delivering this baby late!!

OMG!! I am going to be a mom in 3 within 3 weeks!! WOW! I'm so excited now!! I can't wait to meet him/her!


PS I think it may be a girl because the heartbeat is around 150 right now.

How exciting that its less than 3 weeks to your baby.
For your sake and the baby's I hope the bedrest helps your BP stay in check.

Rest up!!! By the way all my kids had heartbeats around 150 and 2 of them were girls, thjis one is a boy, his heartrate is alwasy around 150, I think it has to do more with size rather than sex.

Take it easy. They are taking Kaylee earlier because of this reason and also because i broke my tailbone 3 times and they are affraid of me breaking it again during labor. It is such a nice thing to know you won't be going later. THe more you relax and rest the more likely your BP will drop. Mine has come down a bunch since i have been on moderate bedrest. Best of luck and i am so glad to see everything is going well.

P.S. Kaylee's HR has been 150-160 maybe another girl on the way.Chat Icon Chat Icon

I broke my tailbone during delivery with my lasy daughter and they anticipate it to break again within the next few weeks or during delivery, but they said it will help make the birth canal larger, so in t elong run, it is to our advantage, recoverin from a broken tailbone is no fun, but at least there is 1 advantage, gt that pillow ready to sit on!!
