OB visit yesterday went well--BP was slightly down from previous visits and no protein in the dip test. We are redoing the 24 hour urine test--at home this time, thankfully. I was hoping that she would have a more visceral reaction to my incarcaration story, but thems the breaks, right? She upped my meds again and I'm still on bedrest. Lather, rinse, repeat.
It appears that things are quiet on the pre-eclampsia front and that is very very good. The upshot of all this, as best as I can understand, is that I am some level of high risk because of the hypertension and also more likely than your average bear to develop pre-eclampsia. So, we are going to keep on with the weekly visits and tests and such until the baby is born or something worse happens. Whichever comes first.
I have my first consult with the Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist on my 32nd birthday--next Thursday, the 29th. I hear that I'll get a stellar ultrasound from him, so I'm kind of looking forward to it, baby pic junkie that I am.

Glad to hear things are going a bit better. Hope bedrest isn't too devastatingly boring!
Sorry about the bedrest, but glad you get to stay home to pee! :) And the fancy baby pic is definitely something to look forward to!
Many, many congratulations on the no protein result. And glad to hear the BP is down a bit too.
Any exciting plans for making bedrest more bearable?
Take care of you and yours!
Can't wait to see those u/s pics to see how much your baby's grown.
Glad to hear that the urine is clean and bp is down. Silly question for you though, could you tell when your bp was high? Were you dizzy? Just not right? Anything out of the ordinary?
