36 weeks

I had my 36 week appointment today and well it did not go so good.

I have been put on bedrest because of my high blood pressure and excessive swelling.

My bp today was 152/94 and I have gained 3lbs in less than a week due to fluid, etc.

I also found out that I'm Group B Strep positive this time around, so when I go to deliver I will have to have IV antibiotics so that I don't get Harper sick.

One good thing came out of my appointment-I'm 1 cm dilated.

I go Friday for a recheck of my bp and we will go from there.

I've had to quit work though and will not be able to go back the rest of my pregnancy, although I'm going to work some from home on my laptop.

They want me to make it to full term which is next week at 37 wks. After that they will probably induce me.
