Being admitted to hospital...

Well I have had a very stressful week this week.

It all started Tuesday when I went in to hospital about an unknown rash, which they then decided to scare me and say that its measles!! To come back to me yesterday arvo and say no its not measles but we dont know what it is. Go back to hospital today to get checked over again and ofcourse BP was through the roof - hopefully this is only because of my stressful week and in hospital they will see that everything is ok and its not PE.

Hopefully they are not going to want to deliver this baby straight away cause I dont even have a baby bag ready, I dont even have my hospital bag or labour bag ready!! I was planning to do that this week but have been unable to get to the shops to buy anything. But I doubt they will, just me stressing...

So please pray that my BP will go back down and I get to come home tonight!!

awwww Veronica I hope that your bp settles for you :pray:, try not to stress yourself out more though hun, your hossy bags etc can be taken care of by someone else if it comes to that, I think that you will just have to have some monitoring and some rest by the sounds of things, you poor thing what a horrible week for you,

we are due at the same time and I am the same as you I dont have a hossy bag or anything ready I havent even brought half the stuff I need yet LOL

my best advice is for you to relax I think you really need to.

Take care hun will be thinking of you :hug:

Hi Ngala,

Just read your update on your journal... you poor thing, what a week you have had :hug: I hope your BP goes down and that is was up because of all the stress you have had this week.

I wish I could come and help you do something.. pack, clean, anything!!

I am sure everything will be fine... I'm thinking of you.

BIG HUGS,

Danielle

Veronica hope all turns out to be nothing and your given the all clear and are back at home still incubating your precious baby before you know it :hug: :hug:

Thinking of you xx

You poor thing - here hoping your Bp will drop and its not PE and you can come back home and relax!! xox

Just remember to relax and be calm, and let everyone else do everything else for you.

I hope everything is ok Ngala, you'll be home before you know it.

Oh no Veronica. :( I hope it turns out to be nothing & you are back at home soon. :hug: Keep us posted.

Wishing you all the best Veronica, I hope you're home again tonight!

Best of luck Veronica, hopefully you can have a little rest in hossy and your BP will come down to normal and you can go home.

Jacqui & Linda - nice to see you gals around ;)

Veronica - hope everything goes ok for you at the hospital. Will be thinking of you :)

i hope ur BP goes down and u get to go home, all the best hun..will be thinking of u

awww you poor thing, i hope you are okay and your BP settles back down soon... my sister just gave birth 2 weeks ago, and about 2 weeks prior to going into labour she ended up in hospital with a rash too! and she too had high BP... docs thought it was Pre Eclampsia but it wasn't in the end... i was watching foxtel the other night on home&health channel and a doctor on there was saying how it's quite common for women to get a rash (can't remember why)....good luck

Hey V *hugs* hope your BP goes down so you can come home tonight and have a relaxing weekend! But while you're at hospital, hope you get to have another look at Avaleigh! :) *hehe*

Hey Veronica, I really hope things settle down for you. I spent a couple of afternoons having my high BP monitored in hossy too - its actually great to sit down and be forced to do absolutely nothing, LOL, but I know it's scary. For me, everything was fine and my baby ended up being a week late! But I do hope that you're well and you can continue to grow that gorgeous little girl of yours a wee bit longer.
All the best, and take care of yourself.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your thoughts!! I had to stay the night in hospital and didnt get much sleep so cant wait to cuddle up in my own bed!!

BP definitely behaved itself. It went from 160/100 yesterday morning to about 130/80 or somewhere around there. I put the high BP down to stress!! So I just have to take it easy now and go in on Tues for another check and hopefully not back in to the hospital.

Excellent news, Veronica. Take care of yourself - enjoy your bed :D

Glad to hear you are back at home. Have a good sleep tonight & take it easy. :hug:

That's great news :) Glad you are home... rest up... did they say what the rash may have been??

Thanks Everyone. It was great to sleep in my own bed last night but I still tossed and turned all night! But atleast I didnt have a midwife waking me up every few hours to do checks :)

Renstar - they are not 100% sure on what the rash is but they are just saying its a pregnancy rash or mild PUPPP. Which would make sense cause PUPPP normally develops around 35 wks.

Its not itchy all the time, just real ugly!
