My blood pressure went up a little higher tonight. I took it around 6 pm as it was the first time I'd stopped all day.
145/107
Mmmmmmm
Took my medication, sat for 30 mins and then took it again.
165/110
Sigh
Rang my OB. Took an extra 200 mg of Labetalol and then waited for 1 hour to take my BP again.
140/100
Much better.
I guess I got a bit of a fright at the thought of going into hospital tonight. Between my extra discharge and little wee whenever I cough or sneeze, I have no clean pants. I can't find my glasses which is really giving me the s$&$)s. I'm sure Mitchell has hidden them but they aren't in the microwave, dirty clothes basket or other normal spots.
I'm more accepting of the fact that I'll likely end up in hospital at some point this week. I had a scan on Wed and baby is totally fine so it's more about my health than bub.
I'm just very glad I get to sleep in my own bed tonight. DS is at my parents so it will be a glorious night of sleep.
That sux.
If it makes you feel any better at all I have no clean pants or undies either for the same reason! I had to go buy more undies today!
I hope your bp stabilizes. enjoy a good nights sleep.
The thing that irritates me the most (apart from my no clean pants and the fact that I'll have to get new glasses tomorrow) is that there is so little I can do to control my blood pressure. I'm taking all my tablets, we have a roster to help with Mitchell and I'm doing the low sodium diet thing.
Oh well, pants are drying on the rack so that's something to be cheered. I'm off to bed. The cats are already warming it for me.
I had PE with DD1. It's so frustrating when your body feels out if your control isn't it? I did all the right things, but sometimes we just can't control what our bodies do. I feel your pain.
Dodged a bullet - no hospital tonight
