Deja vu all over again. I remember with Madison I had a huge increase in my blood pressure at my 37-week appointment, and I was told I couldn't work anymore. I was induced the following week when my blood pressure remained high. I had all sorts of problems with my Faith-y, and she was also induced at 38 weeks. I just felt as though something would happen today. It's probably the size of my feet and legs that served as my indicator.
My blood pressure was fine, but now I'm spilling proteins into my urine. It came back very high. I have to start my 24 hour urine test tomorrow morning and take it into the lab on Thursday morning. I'll also get some blood taken that day. To put the cherry on top of all of these anxieties, I also have come back positive for Group B Strep. I can't quite understand how that is possible seeing as I was negative with both the C. and the B. I'm very worried about this and about having to have penicillin during labor. I'll go back again to the doctor on Thursday, and he said depending on all of my results, he'll decide what to do from there.
Needless to say, I've got two little girls who haven't a clue that they could be big sisters before too long. They are actually excited beyond anything to "help Momma" with my urine collection. It's quite hilarious. I'm hopeful everything comes back normal on Thursday.
