    Veronica, try to rest as much as poss. As long as there is not too much protien in urine u won't be classed as PE. But hypertension is still not good for you or bub. The best thing u can do is try not to get out of bed if you can help it. Elevate ur feet if u are sitting on the lounge and don't stress. Even if you do develop PE, it's not the end of the world. They may just watch u or induce you. The hosp seems very aware of this prob and that you are showing some signs so u are being watched closely. They will not let anything bad happen honey *hugs*. Take it easy and try to relax.

    Hi Ngala, Katkins is right. Rest is extremely important if you have high BP. Can you get someone to help you with the cleaning and washing?

    I had high bp from 35 weeks, I was told I was not to get out of bed or I'd be put in hospital. What did your dr say about resting? I was told that I would have to be induced because of it, but Danielle came on her own at 37 weeks.

    Good luck and don't feel bad about resting. You need to look after yourself and bubs.
