Dr came in ...
"as with 98% of cases with Pregnancy Induced Hypertension, your BPs are creeping up"...
i told him i knew and was getting concerned. he said that its not bad enough to take action yet, but if they continue to rise, Joshua will come earlier than the 30th.
i asked him when i should become very concerned and he said when it hits about 160s/100s-110s. i asked what if just the top number hits 160s (its been about 143ish/60s and he said then we need to reevaluate and possibly induce then. the bottom number is what REALLY concerns them, but they dont want the top number getting too high either...
sooooo... we'll see. ideally, if i can keep him in until this Friday (37 weeks - which is considered 'full term') i'll be a pretty happy camper.

Just know you have done and are doing everything you can . And IF you had to have him now , he will be just fine i am sure. I use to work in the NICU and saw some 24 weekers ! But Friday obviously would be great . Just be safe and keep up the great work !

Friday's not that far away!
Hold on little Joshua!
Mondays child is fair of face
Tuesday's child is full of grace
Wednesday's child is full of woe
Thursday's child has far to go
Friday's child is loving and giving
Saturday's child works hard for a living
But the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is fair and wise, good and gay
any day is a good day to have your baby :)
ideally, i'd love to go into labor on my own sometime early next week... i dont really want to deliver on the 30th cause my former OB is on call and i just really didnt care for her.. i'd love to have to not be induced cause the pitocin makes you have REALLY STRONG contractions and i'm a wimp... ;)
oh i had pitocin. and let me add EPIDURALLLLL
oh yeah, docs and i have already talked about an epidural ... cause we dont want my BP to skyrocket due to the pain...
