A little rest before baby

24 May 2008 at 6:48 am (Just Because, Pregnancy, Proud Momma, Raising Children) (, , , )

My follow up doctors appointment has found that my BP did not get any better after bed rest, it was actually just a little bit higher.  So my doctor and I have agreed that I need to be out of work for the next few weeks before I have my baby.  I’m not complaining, it will be a nice time to rest.  I will be able to get some much needed rest before I get none after baby is born.

Work seemed to be cool about it.  I mean what can they really do when I have a letter from my physican saying I can’t work due to complications with my pregnancy.  My cooworkers were concerned for me and it is comforting to know I am in their thoughts and prayers.  Although I will not get paid while I am out on leave things will be hard with money, specially in this ever rising gas and food economy; but the health of my baby and myself is way more important then money.

    I think it’s a great idea that you take it easy. AND DO SO. Rest as much as possible
