Well i have been put on bed rest already at 17 weeks. They think i may be farther but we are sticking with that for now. I am getting very nasty headaches and they are causing my blood pressure to rise which bothers the dr since its usually the other way around but its not. My b/p started at 154/86 when i got there and within 30 minutes it was 167/106 and it increased with the intensity of my headache. We have determined they are not migraines and i will have as many tests run as possible while pregnant. I will pop in every now and then to say hi but i am so tired lately and it takes alot for me to be up and about the past 2 weeks. Everyone have a good week!!!

{{{Kenna}}} You'll be in my prayers. How are the kids doing? Do you have any help tending to them? Gosh, I wish I could make a casserole and bring it over!

Oh Kenna, I can't imagine being on bed rest with a 2 year old. I will keep you in my prayers, please keep us posted.

Bless your heart I am so sorry. Maybe the dr. will find out what is causing your headaches and give you some relief. I hope you pull out of this and have a great rest of your pregnancy! I will be praying for you.

I went to the dr again this morning and b/p still high. No i don't have help with my little one but i am hoping once dd is back in school he will calm down. He is much easier when its just us. The dr did give me something for my headache and it seems to be working. Its a new drug or a new one for pregnant woman anyways that i can take once you get past the first trimester whcih i am. Thanks for all the prayers, will be off to bed in a few!

((HUGS)) I'll be thinking about you! I was on best rest for just a short time while pregnant with my DD, and I know it's not fun.

Try some lavender oil on your temples for the headaches. Also, an ice pack might help. I'm really glad they gave you something. I feel for you, I really do. Hang in there.
