I'm close to 34 weeks along and the doctor is concerned about my blood pressure and has asked me to stop working and has ordered different blood work for me..and idk maybe I'm just being over emotional but I'm upset i have to stop working so soon. Or that my blood pressure is even an issue i haven't gaine much wait and I'm not the perfect eater but i have been watching what i eat and still thia happes. Blah :(

I am also on bed rest.  Been here since 28 weeks due to a shortening cervix. It's very frustrating. I am so tired of just sitting herem

Yes. They are about the same thing. We have been very blessed to work when we could. Definitely just ***** having to adjust. My husband was laid off 2 weeks before we found out i was pregnant and now I'm on bed rest. Definitely freaking out over here. We only have 1 car as well. So at least now he has full access to go find a job! He's been applying EVERY WHERE with no luck so far.

Yea it could be worse you're right it just *****. My doctor hasn't said anything about preclamsia but he said something about toxciema...? I'm think it's about the same thing.

I'm 26 weeks and I have been on bed rest since I found out I was pregnant. I'm so small that I am a high risk pregnancy. I was like that with my first baby. And I almost lost my baby girl I'm pregnant with now bc my body is actually trying to kick her out bc of the pain and pressure. So your lucky you got to work during most of your pregnancy. I haven't worked since September... And I miss it..

You could go on disability and get money for that as it is the doctor taking you off work and not by choice.

Same here. I'm not really upset but it is aggravating. I was diagnosed with Pre Eclampsia so I have no choice. :/  I just want my little girl healthy!
