Doctor Appointments Galore!

Well last Friday at my doctor's appointment I found out my high blood pressure was beginning to show up in this pregnancy. I also had a high heart rate and sugar and protein in my urine. So this all shows signs that I will once again have preeclampsia. I am not sure why my heart rate has been so high, but I can be up walking from one end of the house to the other and my heart is beating really fast, about 122 bpm. So on Wednesday I get to go see a Cardiologist. I also went on Monday to my doctor to have some blood work done to check my iron levels, thyroid, and sugar levels. I also turned in the 24 hour urine test I did over the weekend. They want to see how much protein is there because this is something they watch for in preeclampsia patients. I don't really know where all of this leaves us right now. I think Madison will be here before the end of April though. If my blood pressure does the same as last time it got to severe levels at 35/36 weeks and Cannon was born at 36/37 weeks. I am expecting to be put on bed rest in the next week or so and then probably delivering the week after. This is all speculation though. I really have no idea. I could find myself at 40 weeks praying that I would just go into labor already! :) I am just going by what happened in my last pregnancy though. It is very exciting to think that I could be meeting my daughter in just a few short weeks! Once I get more information I will let everyone know!

  1. My prayers are that no matter what they decided to do about your delivery that everything will go smoothly. I had uncomplicated pregnancy and was 1 day early with Avery, 6 days late with Sage, and 10 days late with Capri. Being "late" is NO fun, so I hope you don't have to do that. Here's to a healthy deliver no matter what!
