Update from the Doctor-38 Weeks

John and I went to the doctor today for a routine visit. However, we did not get great news. My blood pressure was high again. In fact I was told to lie down for a while and my blood pressure was taken again. It went down some but it was still high. I had a small trace of protein in my urine and my hands and feet are swollen. The doctor said all of these were signs for concern but not bad enough to put me in the hospital at this time. He is going to monitor me closely for the rest of the pregnancy. The nurse drew blood to have a baseline for future reference. The doctor reminded me again how important it is for me to continue to rest. I go back in a week for everything to be rechecked and a stress test will be preformed on the baby. I will update you as new details or events take place.
