...not a good day

So today was a regular check up at the doctors today! I was excited to hear how well everything is going because I thought I had the perfect pregnancy.


My thoughts were wrong. Usually my check-ups consisted of peeing in a cup and then right after they would check my blood pressure. They did do that but found things in both my urine and blood pressure they didn't like. Found out my blood pressure was really high and that they found protein in my urine. My doctor then explained to me that I'm at risk of preeclampsia and the possibility of preterm labor.


So now I'm on blood pressure medication and I have to go in everyday just to see how my blood pressure is and if the medication is working and also I'm now doing every week visits to the doctor and have to get blood taken every time and bed ridden.


I guess the main reason I'm torn and upset is that i had this plan that i would basically work till my due date, because Dayne will have started school Oct 18th and who knows when EI will ever come in. And the fact that we have to get rid of my dog jax. It sounds silly but right now I have 2 dogs at my house. 1 is my own and the other we're babysitting for my in laws. My dog is very energetic and always wants to be outside and run around. The other....is older, but hates my dog and is very picky. I just have no more patience to give right now. I can't even go on a walk. Its quite depressing actually.


So ya, today has been a major down for me. And I feel terrible that I have to get rid of my dog and know that my husband is losing a friend. Dayne has been nothing but a support on my end and i guess that's why I'm having such a hard time with letting my dog go! Because Dayne didn't even hesitate to say no or say we can figure some alternative out so we can keep the dog.


Anyways...sorry to put a damper on everyones day I just had to let it out.

  1. Sorry to hear about your dr appt. thats very discouraging! i know i dont live in taber but i am only 30 mins away if you need help. i regret being so stubborn and never asking for help with the last few weeks of my pregnancy and the first few weeks after labour.
