Hey everyone,
Ok, So I went to the Dr. yesterday afternoon because on Tuesday I didn't feel all that great. I couldn't seem to wake up and I felt like I had taken way too much cold medcine. I was loopy and couldn't focus on anything and I wasn't making any sense. And had I been able to think clearly I would have called the Dr. then. But as the day went on..it seemed to get better but never really went away. By the time I got home, I noticed my hands were a little swollen...not to bad though. Once Kevin got home we went out to Target and then to Wal-Mart to get some walking in and help convince little man to come! Well, while we were out at Wal-Mart I started to get really freaked out because my hands got really tight and REALLY swollen and my fingers were red. Of course naturally I started to notice the tightness in my legs, ankles, and feet. Once we got home I was able to see that they were just as swollen. Ok, so back to yesterday (Wed) at the doc. I told them all of that, and how tired I was that day as well, but I felt better than before. They did a urine, blood sugar, and iron test and also checked my blood pressure. They came back and told me that my b/p was higher than normal and higher than they liked, and I had some protein in my urine, and also that my iron had dropped a lot. Still not fully understanding what was going on, the doc then told me that she was going to place me on bed rest until Friday and she wanted me to come back then to get re-checked. She also stated that it could be mild preeclempsia setting in, but that they would know more hopefully on Friday. I will let you know then!
