I need advice
Hey yall! I am 31 weeks and went to the doctor Tuesday, my blood pressure was 165/88 and baby boys heart beat was 144 which is normal for him but my doctor told me my blood pressure was really high and now I’m on weekly appointments and if it’s high this next time around I will have to be on medicine. He told me I’m on bed rest and I’m in a funk bc I feel so helpless. Any advice?

Not bp related but I’m on bed rest but I have a very active 8 month old. Try to do the things you can. I was placed on bed rest at 20 weeks and I’m now 32 expecting to deliver anyday but no later than 37. Drink plenty of fluids (even soda counts according to my dr) I’ve been called an incubator so I get the helpless feeling. Try and do what you can within reason. Start binge watching shows that you like.
My ob puts me on weekly appointments at 32 weeks so you're like right on track anyways could be white coat syndrome too. Where just going to see Dr is stressing you out. That's how it started with my last one until 36 weeks. Then is started getting bad.

Same here love, I’m currently In the high risk section of OB for the same thing. My blood pressure did not spike until last Friday (end of 30 weeks) as it has been consistently normal up to then. In order to avoid you having to be in the hospital until delivery/early delivery please take bed rest seriously. Unfortunately with the way my blood pressure and the protein in my urine is progressing they did not give me the option to go home for bed rest however this morning will be day 3 of monitoring.
