Another weekly appointment and anoother rise in my blood pressure(BP). It was somewhat caused by stress. Getting to the DR's today was a little on the stressful side. The car decided to "act up" - it wouldn't start. This has to be the worst year for cars for us. I think a brand new one is in order. We will have to see about that one. Anyway, I managed to get the car started after several attempts and get on the road. But as I was ramping up to get on the highway instead of accelerating the car bogged and almost stalled. Luckily, it didn't it finally took the gas and off it went. So the rest of the drive to Barrie I was worried something was going to happen with the car and that I wouldn't get there on time. So needless to say, when i got there my BP was 150/90 and my feet were swollen like balloons. The nurse said she would take it again before I left since I told her about my trip in to the office. It came down to 130/90 which was better but still high so she wanted the DR to know before I left. He was happier with the second reading but still told me to rest all week until I see him next week at the Birthing Unit.
Last week he had indicated he may want to induce me or deliver me by C section because of my BP and perhaps the size of the baby but this week he made no mention of it. So, I guess we wait another week and see what happens. The main thing is Bumpkin is doing just fine. Still managing to wriggle around in the cramped quarters of Bumpkin's Mommy's tummy.
Count down...18 days.....
