We had our 38 week doctor appointment today. Bryan had heard that our doctor was in the hospital, so we were kind of confused on how everything was going to go today. We got there, and there was no doctor. He had fallen on Thursday and broke his leg. He is still in the hospital. I met with the nurse, and she took my blood pressure and weight. My blood pressure was 150/92 which is high. Then she took my measurements and got the baby's heartbeat. The baby's heartbeat was 140 beats per minute. Then the nurse went to call the doctor about my blood pressure. The doctor told her that I was to be on bed rest again for the day until my appointment tomorrow. They also scheduled an ultrasound later in the afternoon.
Denise and I went to get pedicures, and I recruited her to go to the ultrasound with me. Bryan didn't think it would be good to miss 2 1/2 hours of work today. At the ultrasound, I got to see the baby again but not great pictures. We really didn't get to see much of the baby except that he/she was breeched.
I am now sitting on the chaise doing nothing because that is what Bryan is allowing me. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow where they will take my blood pressure again and check the baby. If my blood pressure is still high, I might be admitted and have a baby by the end of the day! I'm ready, but wow this went fast!!!
