-When I went to bed Monday night my BP was high (124/99). I checked my BP each time that I got up during the night - at 2:30 a.m. it was 134/91 and at 4:30 a.m. it was 135/88. I got up (for the day) at 6:30 a.m., my BP was 134/87. I started a load of laundry, ate breakfast, watched the news and folded some clothes at 8:30 a.m. my BP was 130/111. I called my doctor and was told to lay down and rest for 2 hours and recheck my BP and call them back with the results. I put Daniel down for a nap around 10 a.m. and laid down for a nap myself. I woke up around 12 p.m. and rechecked my BP (141/91). I called my doctor back and was told that I was being put on modified bedrest until my appointment on Wednesday (6/18). I am to only be up for 2 to 3 hours at a time and then rest for 2 to 3 hours. I am allowed to do moderate activites while up. I am to check my BP every 2 to 3 hours as well.

Bless your heart. Keep those feet up & rest rest rest. I know that is sooo much easier said than done with sweet Daniel to take care of. Sending many prayers your way!!!
hugs! i hope all goes okay! i had PE and/or PIH with all three of my pregnancies so i know the worry, hassle, constant BP checks, carrying around the 24 hr urine bottle, etc. Bed rest is no picnic sometimes but it can buy lots more time! I'll keep watch on how things are going!
