So ya..i knew it wasnt going to be good..yesterday i went to church and out to lunch came home and my feet were twice their size!! So hubby put me on bedrest..i called my mom..(like i do for everything..thank God for her) and she started freaking out! I was like whats the big deal..im just swelling..well uh..i guess the swelling i had wasnt!

So i went in today..got on the scale..(i hate that thing!) and uh ya..i gained 6lbs..yes 6lbs in a WEEK!! i couldnt believe it! So i was a little concerned not really bad..my feet were a little swollen..no biggie again..then she takes my bp..not horrible..but high for me..138/70.....i started tearing up..i know there is nothing i can do..but everything had been going well..im now up to 36lbs in weight gain..and i was on the bigger side to begin with..and i cant help but feel like i did this to her..stupid hormones! ugh!! and to top it all off..he doesnt want to just stick to the 24th as induction date now..he says he wants to keep it open to see how Mondays u/s goes..ugh..i know i should be so thankful i get to carry my baby and i know things could go worse.

so thats my update..ill let yall know more on Monday at my next appt.Thank you ladies for all of your support! you girls are great!

Are they thinking Pre-E? I guess not considering your BP is ok! I hope all goes well at your next appt hun! Hugs!

[Austinsmama2007]

[Jessie0505]

Demetria..they arent thinking it yet..but they are keeping a little closer eye on everything now. so well see.

[ppeacocks]

relax and dont stress over your weight! enjoy your feet up--you will wish you could that for the next 18 years

[Jessie0505]

ya..you are soo right! thanks!!

[hkystar]

dont stress about the weight gain... that is only gonna make things worse. Just take it easy this week!

BIG HUGS!

[mommy2tns]

hugs, drink lots of water, and rest as much as you can and let that hubby of yours take care of you!

[Suhrah]

yeah I agree with everybody else... dont stress about the weight gain...I know its hard...relax and enjoy the last few moments of peacefulness

[sweetdreamer1]

agree with all.. try to relax hun..!! and the weight gain .. dont think about it if the pressure is not really high...!! if it helps i gained apprx 3lbs with in a week last time.. thats from the weight check on the 4th june and then on the 9th june..!! that is not even a week i can say..!
hope the resting and keeping ur feet up will not let ur bp elevate..!! and u can stick to the 24th..!!! either way ..dont worry hun cos u are 37 weeks and ur li girly will be just fine even if she decides that its time to come out of mommy's belly..!!!

Try to relax and take it easy.I hope you get to feeling better soon.

[Sahoko]

Sounds like they're thinking pre-e. I didn't gain anything from week 36+1 to 37+1 and typically you don't at our stage from here on... I guess we'll know for sure at your next appt. No worries.. Even if you do have pre-e, it'd be just starting now most likely, and it's so close to your due date anyway that you could easily induce a bit earlier than expected or even on your original induction date with probably no added complications...

[SpankyMagoo]

dont worry about the weight gain at all.. cause its water weight... and as soon as baby is out, you'll pee out that 6 lbs and never have to worry about it again!

Now put your feet up, drink an ***** load of water... and try not to stress... your almost there, mama!

[2pinks&ablue]

Try to relax and drink lots of water!

[Sour Amaretto]

Def. drink lots and lots of water and rest and DONT STRESS, it really only makes things worse...we are thinking about you!

[GSLynn]

I'm sorry That really stinks. I hope you feel better soon. :/

[w292737]

it'a actually pretty normal to put on alot of water weight at this point, esp with the heat.

Try to drink more water to flush out yoru system.

[Jessie0505]

Thanks ladies! i can always count on yall..im layin down feet up and chuggin the water!! hubby is doing a wonderful job takin care of me!! im a lucky girl! thanks again..luv you girls!

[sweetdreamer1]

how is the leg swelling today??! any changes..???!! try not to have too much salt in ur diet.. just so that the bp will not elevate and even the water retention will be less..and the swelling will reduce..!!!
