Yeah, I'm home! They finally did the lab work on my 24 hour urine, and there was just a small amount of protein, meaning I could just have mild preeclampsia. Now that they have a baseline, they will just make sure to monitor it when I go to my doctor's appointments.
They discharged me around 7:00 PM tonight, and I am now on modified bed rest. This means that I don't have to stay "in bed." I can be on the couch or in a recliner, but I just need to relax. I can get up to shower, fix myself lunch, go to the store, and of course, go to my doctor's appointments. I am just not supposed to do any housework or make too many trips up and down the stairs...anything that could raise my blood pressure.
Now we are just keeping our fingers crossed that I do not have to go back into the hospital for another 2 or 3 weeks when I have my c-section. I can't believe it's so soon. It feels like December 17th is just right around the corner.
