Is it wrong?
Ok so my doctor told me that I am on bed rest from here on out due to rising blood pressure charted over the past few weeks. I have done a 24 hour urine collection over the 4th of July and then another one is scheduled for tomorrow. The fist time they found nothing to indicate pre-e in both blood work and urine collection.

No you weren't wrong at all. Nobody wants to be confined to the bed all day, everyday. It's good to get out just for awhile, long as you're not doing anything strenuous.

It's not wrong to try and move around at all! :) I also don't think it's wrong for someone looking out for you. Maybe this person was just worried about you, maybe next time don't update on Facebook. I hope your bp goes down and remember getting mad makes it go up higher

Point taken about the Facebook update. I usually update for my family who do not live in the same state as I do.
I realize she may just be looking out for me but if she isn't in the situation or haven't been, maybe she should have stated her reply a little differently. I am not mad, just irritated that I am being told I must absolutely never leave my bed for any reason. I mean I am only human and need to move to avoid hurting. I am not doing work outs or strenuous activities sitting in the pool is not strenuous it actually felt really good and relaxing.

Bed rest does not mean DO NOT MOVE FROM YOUR BED.

You're not suppose to literally lay on bed all day that can cause blood clots, people are idiots unless they are a doctor I would tell them to shut their mouth and swimming sounds pretty relaxing to me

The emphasis is on the REST part. It has nothing to do with your bed.

It seems the pool would be really relaxing and just as good as bed rest. Actually maybe better because you have less stress on your body. It's not like you were doing laps! Some people are just crazy. I say relax in the pool.

a pool is better than bed rest because baby floats in the pool, getting away from your cervix and relieving all pressure. tell people to eff off if they have a problem
