bed rest question

On Thursday I went in for my weekly check up with my Dr she said my blood pressure was very high and because I had swelling too she put me on bed rest no more working my ores sure has always been good up until that day I am 36 weeks but instead of scheduling my appt a week away like normally she told me she wanted to see me Monday to check on me what should I expect tmrw? Induced labor? Prescription to bring down my pressure? Does anyone kknow?

Well.... idk what she will do, but my dr admitted me for the same thing and put me on strict bed rest... she is delivering me at 37 weeks and that's on thursday!!! So just be prepared to be admitted =/

no. shes just gonna monitor your blood pressure  since your Almost 37 weeks if it hasn't gone down, shell probably schedule you to be induced at a later time make a week or so.... if its really really high she may just send you to get an emergency c section. but rest up and stay hydrated hopefully all is well for you and your little one mama
