Mannnnnn darn...

So today I went to my doctor's appointment and apparently my blood pressure is a little high. Because of that the doctor put me on bed rest for the rest of the week and he's doing a 24 hour urine collection, they pulled more blood work and I have to go back on Friday for a recheck. Kinda nervous and sad because I need to work to pay my bills and no one else is going to do my housework and take care of my responsibilities, resting is just almost not an option. I also need to go grocery shopping and a ton of other stuff. Stay in bed is just not going to cut it. Man, living in a state with no family and only two friends isn't helpful at all when you are pregnant lol. I hope everything works out for the better, would hate for them to take my little girl early, I don't have everything ready for her yet.

I have to buy a cuff insurance doesn't cover that. Some are not as good as others but the best is too expensive.

I did go to the doctor today for my recheck. I lost three pounds since Wednesday and my urine output for 24 hours was too low even though I drank water like a fiend. My blood pressure returned to normal limits And They did more blood work today. I go back on Tuesday for another round of blood work and rechecks.

This is sort of exhausting. And horrible on gas since the office is 45 mins away and I have to take tolls to get there. I just feel like for all this effort we really don't have much info to go off of. Still worried but trying my best to keep positive and just keep on keeping on. I am sure the situation could always be worse.

Can you ask about a blood pressure cuff and monitor your blood pressure? If it gets to a certain level, agree to get off your feet and rest, otherwise, you can do your light housework and basic things?

I have a friend who is living with me for 6 weeks along with her 9 year old daughter but she is very much a do her own thing kind of person. She knows I am on bed rest and am out of basic necessities like milk, eggs, bread, cereal etc but only goes out to get her supplies. I have asked her and told her I need help but she just changes the subject or does what ever she needs to do for herself and her daughter. Saying something about it would open a can of worms I really don't feel like dealing with right now so I let the situation be. It's unfortunate and stressful all at the same time.

I return to the doctor tomorrow for follow up so hopefully I can get cleared for work again because I have bills no one else is going to pay but me and I need to grocery shop. It wouldn't be so bad but I have to climb stairs to bring my groceries up to my apartment.

I am hoping for the best tomorrow because being on bed rest is even more stressful than not being on it for me lol.

You should see if one of your friends is going out and can driver to do your shopping. You may have house work but keep it light a little time standing and little time sitting. I was on bed rest with our first child for 3 month's I took it easy but still did my house work and the shopping. Also any housework the can be done sitting is best.
