I'm 36 weeks 1 day pregnant today. My BP is always high when I get up in the morning. It was the highest its been today. It was 175/100. After getting out of bed, 2 hours later it was 143/87. I called my Dr. and left a message just to let him know how high it was and that I would be in for my NST in a bit. They called me back as my mom was bringing me to my NST. My Dr. said he would either send me home after my NST or see me depending on how the babies were doing. Thankfully, the babies are just fine. NST was perfect again. So I got to go home and he will see me at my appointment Tuesday. He said at my appointment we would discuss inducing me on Wednesday. With my BP creeping higher and higher, its time for these babies to come out. He just wants me to make it close to 37 weeks.
I'm hoping he will strip my membranes on Tuesday and I will go into labor on my own that day. If I don't go on my own, I'm ready for induction. I know he said discuss inducing me on Wednesday, but as far as I'm concerned, its a done deal. Lets get the ball rolling. I thought about trying every old wives tale I could find about trying to get the babies to come this weekend, but the more I think about it, the more I realize I should just rest. These babies are going to come when they are ready, not when I want them to. I should rest up for labor and staying up with 2 newborns instead of wearing myself out. I thought about taking a walk, but I'm just going to save my energy. I feel really tired today too for some reason. I think I hear a nap calling my name.
Have a great day!
