3rd Trimester

High Blood Pressure

When I went for my last monthly check-up on friday, my blood pressure was much higher than it has been so far. The doctor seemed very concerned and scheduled me for a bunch of tests (24 hr urine collection, blood work, retaking my blood pressure tuesday). He said if my blood pressure is still high on tuesday that he wants to admit me to the hospital. :(  I guess they're screening me for Preeclampsia.. I hope I don't have to go on bedrest because I really need all the money I can get right now and would really like to continue working until two weeks before my due date. Of course if it is deemed medically necessary I'll do what I must. Any other mommas dealing with hypertension? Did you have to go on bed rest or limit activity?
