    you must be worried, but try and rest up and the good thing is that they have picked up on any potential indicators so can now monitor you and bubs appropriately to manage the situation. Much better than not knowing and something going wrong.

    I would be trying to kick out your house guests ASAP too! You don't need the stress of them being there, which probably hasn't helped your BP, and you need the peace and quiet to get some R&R and prepare for the arrival of your baby.

    A friend of mine was also closely monitored in her pregnancy for PE, but all stayed ok & she went in to natural term labour
    I'm sure all will be ok

    I hope it all goes ok - I would also be getting rid of your houseguests and making sure that you can get some peace and quiet. You need to de-stress and follow Dr's orders to rest up.

    i just replied in your other thread but wanted to pop in and offer a . i hope everything works out. it's good that they're monitoring you closely & it's a good sign that you were allowed to come home & didn't have to stay in hopsital (although that might have meant more rest today!!). i was monitored closely & it was a lot of time spent at the hospital but at the same time it was always great to get to hear DS' heartbeat & it forced me to sit down for however long the monitoring took! i hope they have the same sort of big comfy armchairs that my hospital did!!
