First of all, everything's fine. So last night I had some really bad stomach pains that reminded my of how I felt when Beckett was born. Plus my blood pressure was way up for several hours. Normal for me during this pregancy is 120's/70's but they were in the 140's/80's and 90's even after I rested. So I called the on-call Dr. this morning who, of course, told me to go to labor and delivery for some labs and an NST.
When I got there (after laying in the hospital bed for 30 minutes waiting for them to take my blood pressure) my BP was 117/72, the lowest it's been in days. All my labs were great, even better than before and the baby was awesome on the monitor. So basically, I was perfectly healthy (but paranoid) pregnant lady using up valuable resources. I feel like a big baby. To make matters worse, the whole time I was watching CNN and there were Hillary and Obama taking about how expensive health care is. Not that I wanted something to be wrong, and the nurses and the on-call doctor were really nice and reassured me that it was right to come in, it's just that I hate wasting people's time.

Glad to hear you're still pregnant and doing well. Don't worry about your L&D trip... it's much better to be safe than sorry... esp. considering your past medical history.
Take care... and rest up!
