So i went to the DR today and things were fine until the took my BP... i went from a normal of 110/60 - 140/80 and they have me scared sh**less now... as soon as the dr came in she started talking about Toxemia and bed rest...

They put me on a monitor and did a non-stress test which seemed to be fine. They also sent me for blood work, supposedly they will call me with the results some time this afternoon.

i'm just really concerned... i really wouldn't mind the bedrest as i'm seriously over working everyday but financially and with insurance issues it makes for added stress.

I just needed to vent!

Hope the results come back clear

I hope everything is ok hon, it just might be stress thats causing the high BP since everything else was ok. I hope the results bring back pos news

mine went around the same, i had some blood work done too, everything seems pretty much fine. they have just put it down to the fact its late pregnancy and the weight is making everything work harder, could be case with you too, you havent long to go. just take it esy try not to worry too much, if there is a prob they are the case and they will sort it.

Fingers crossed that all is ok.

Toxemia is serious and Dr. advice shouldn't be taken lightly- but I was diagnosed with in in week 30 of my first pregnancy.

I had it for 7 weeks, and was on 'modified bedrest' for 4 of those, then I was induced at 37 weeks.

DD fine.

I was fine. (In fact, I felt like a new woman after the delivery).

Hang in there.



BTW start packing in the protien. That has been shown to alleviate a lot of the pre-eclampsia / toxemia symptoms.

Dr. Brewer's Blue ribbon baby diet is actually for mom's who are at risk for pre-eclampsia. It is protien intense!

Hope everything is ok!!

Thank you all for your well wishes!!!! I got the test results back and they said it looks negative They are still concerned as i have protien in my urine and my blood pressure is high so I'm going back in on monday so they can monitor me again just to make sure everything is ok.

Even though the bedrest would have been nice for the next 2 weeks i'm really glad they said it looks good... i just want my little bundle to be healthy

Glad that the test results came back negative. Let us know how your appointment goes on Monday.

Glad everything is ok and Good Luck on Monday
