I went on Tuesday for my 15 week checkup. They took my blood pressure and immediately said I needed to go to the maternity ward at the hospital to be monitored and get it under control. It was through the roof. They sent me home hours later and put me on bed rest for the rest of the week. I went through this with my daughter but not so early in that pregnancy. I developed preeclampsia at 7 months pregnant with my daughter and they delivered her at the earliest possible at 36 weeks. I'm so nervous that this is already starting with this one. Even though I am being closely monitored by my OB and the high risk Dr, I feel so helpless and nervous. It sucks having this and not really being able to do anything about it. I take my meds and try to take it easy as much as I can but this is out of my control and up to my body. I just pray I make it to 36 weeks at least for this baby as well. This is going to be a looooooooong ass pregnancy.
