38 week appointment

Had my appointment today:
Blood pressure: 144/98, 140/98, 136/92
Weight: total gain of 60 lbs :(

First thing was my blood pressure. It was obviously high, so they took it three times. If the third time was still over 140, they would have admitted me. Not to be induced, just to monitor me, so I am so glad it was down, I reallly didn't want to spend the evening in the hospital. It was still high for their liking, so they sent me to the lab for testing, and I also get to keep and store my urine for the next 24 hours.

I asked the Dr. to check me, telling her I was having contractions. I am dilated to a 2, and 25% effaced. Very exciting since I have never dilated before, but still not enough for me! I go back Friday, so hopefully there will have been some progress.
