<p>reared its ugly head today. My bp has been a little high for about a week, and I spilled protein this morning. Had a NST and hour-long bp check, and now I'm on bedrest. I'll see a perinatologist tomorrow morning. I'm feeling my natural, on baby's time delivery flying out the window. I had PIH with my first baby and had to be induced when I reached 160's/140's, but no problems with the 2nd.</p>

<p>Oh no, this really sucks!  I hope this doesn't turn into pre-e and that the protein was a one time thing.</p>

<p>oh no! i hope they can control it enough so that baby stays put til term at least.</p>

<p>Crossing my fingers for you! Hopefully the bed rest will help. </p>

<p>eat tons of protein, drink tons of water and salt your food to taste (yes, salt, pregnant women need salt differently than non-pregnant people due to our increased blood volume). <a href="http://www.blueribbonbaby.org" target="_blank">www.blueribbonbaby.org</a></p>

<p>Thanks mamas! Saw the peri yesterday. Still not looking great, but I'm staying on bedrest. I'll be monitored 2x a week at appts from now on, and if necessary they'll induce at 36 weeks. Certainly not ideal, but unfortunately it may be the safest thing for both of us at this point. I'm definitely going to do everything I can to keep him in there as long as possible. With dd, my bp got up to 160's/140's in a matter of minutes, so I know how quickly things can change with this. Just trying to stay positive at this point and believe it will work out. </p>
