Baffling...high blood pressure again, and gained 2 pounds in 2 days (water weight)....how does that happen? I've been obeying Dr's orders by resting, mainly laying around on the couch all day with a few "pick-me-ups" in between..ugh. Frustrating. Dr. did another non-stress today on the baby and all was well. The little stinker was really moving around and heartbeat was strong...a happy baby in the womb, why can't we convince her it's fun outside the womb too?? I was told my cervix is very soft, ripe and ready to go (sorry to share those details) however I am still on "bedrest" at home and need to do a 24 hr urine test to check for toxemia. Should know the results by the end of the weekend and we'll go from there...
After this weekend we may try the doctors famous "rootbeer float."
It goes something like this:
a tall glass of rootbeer + a dollop of vanilla ice cream + 1 ounce of castor oil+ wild and crazy s-e-x= onset of labor and/or a good "system cleanout"
Anybody ever try that method??
