We went to the doctor on Wednesday for our regular appointment. I had felt
terrible for a few days but I thought that I was coming down with the flu.
When they took my blood pressure it was a little high and there was some
protein in my urine. With this and me feeling terrible the doctor sent me to
the hospital for a work up for toxemia. My pressure came down and all my labs
were fine so I went home four or five hours later. Saturday I was back in
for the same thing and went home soon after. It is all very frustrating. I
am tired of being pregnant as many 9 ˝ months pregnant women are. I swore I
wouldn't leave the hospital without a baby the last time I was in for early
labor…that stopped. Talk about speaking too soon.
We have an appointment on Monday for a second growth study and we have some
decisions to make soon. Our options are three: an elective C-section,
elective early induction or to wait and see. The section isn't really an
option for us unless they tell us it is medically necessary. I am stuck
between the other two. I don't really want to wait another potential five
weeks to only end up with a C-section anyway. I am so incredibly
uncomfortable now. The baby now pushes on my sciatic nerve and a zap on pain
shoots down my legs. It's rather like being electrocuted from the inside. Oh
well. Shocking or not, pregnancy is a state to be anticipated, relished,
worshiped and then…well…not…but it is a ride worth taking.
