I had my regular OB visit two days ago. My blood pressure is still elevated. It's in the prehypertension levels. They want me to monitor it and call if the lower number goes over 90. It's always in the 80s now. The top number fluctuates between upper 120s-140s. I'm trying to relax but it's not easy when you have young children. They still need me to take care of them!
I have my next appointment on November 15th, so I'll see what they decide if my blood pressure hasn't decreased. My C-section has been scheduled for December 3rd but the OB doesn't think I'll make it that far. He said if my blood pressure doesn't go down or if it goes up even higher they'll bump the date up at least a week sooner.
If I follow the average they won't be in long enough for it to even be a concern. Standing up is so uncomfortable. It feels like the babies are going to tear right down through the bottom of my belly. I get so tired of sitting around all the time, though. I want to be able to get out and live life.
Still, I want them to stay in longer. It's hard enough knowing I won't be able to hold them right after they're born because of the whole C-section thing. If they have to go straight to the nicu or special care nursery I won't see them for even longer. I want whatever is best for them. The longest I'll have to wait now is only 23 days!
