Went for my BP check today at Duke. It was 147/91 and they made me do a urine test and I now have protein in my urine. So I am on bedrest now and have to go back Thursday afternoon to see the Dr. If they can't get my bp down with bedrest it may mean I have to go on Blood pressure medicine for the rest of the pregnancy to try to keep it under control. It's so crazy .. my blood pressure is so good when I am not pregnant .. but get me pregnant ..and it goes through the roof. If you are the praying type say some prayers for me and little bit that we get this blood pressure thing under control. I will be 23.5 weeks pregnant like tomorrow and we still have a ways to go to get this kiddo big enough and healthy enough to be born.
About Me
- Stephanie
- I am a 34 year old, divorced working mother of 2 amazing kids. I have one amazing son who just turned 9 (he just happens to have ADHD, Aspergers and is battleing Depression) and a 6 year old daughter who brings the sunshine in the room every she walks in. My kids are the reason I get out of bed in the morning. However being a single mom is hard work. Being a single mom with a special needs child is even harder, hence the reason why I blog.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF STEPHANIE!I know this will be hard, but that bean's gotta grow. Thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you and that little growin' pollywog.
Hang in there!! I'm thinking of you! I hope that time passes quickly, and that your blood pressure lowers along the way.
