Tara i totally feel for you. I had similar problems around 38wks - BP just going up and up, bubs moving less, lots of swelling, no protein or headaches though, thank god or they'd have had me in i'm sure! I'm POSITIVE the measuring of my BP made it worse, and i also always got a lower reading with a sphig than with a machine. They also used to spend 20 minutes discussing which cuff to use (i was 200lbs at term) and always using the normal one because proportionally i looked fine when in fact i needed the bigger one...grrrr.

I had a good outcome, a homebirth and no problems. Are they scanning bubs to make sure he's ok? Maybe that'd set your mind at rest? I'd definately explain the difficulties of your situation to whoever will listen at your visit tomorrow.

Good luck hun, sorry i can't be more help.

I'm thinking about you
