I had to make a trip to labor and delivery at the hospital yesterday because my blood pressure keeps creeping up and the little dipstick test showed protein in my urine at the midwife's office and I lost 5 pounds in the last week. Four hours later, I am perfectly fine. The only thing they found was when I was upright (sitting/standing), my blood pressure got high but when I was laying down, it was normal/low. That means there is no sign of pre-eclampsia and I can't even tell you how happy I am about that! The doctor wants me to take some blood pressure medication for the next 20 days and see how I do, as well as stay laying down as much as possible.

Best news is that I still have the possibility of having my baby outside of the hospital in the birth center.
