Hospital

Yesterday I had to go to the hospital for a non-stress test. From that test they found out that my blood pressure is high. So I had to go do some more blood work and tests and I have had to do a 24 hour urine test. Has anyone done this? At least they let me bring it home to do cause they were going to make me stay in the hospital over night to do it. I have had to save my urine since last night so I can take it back into the lab so they can test it. YUCK! I made Jared put a cooler in my bathroom with ice in it cause there was no way I was going to put it in my fridge.
I have to go back to the hospital tomorrow for another non-stress test and for a sonogram and to go over all the results of the tests that they did. They are testing me for pre-eclampsia.
I have never had high blood pressure before and can not believe how miserable it makes you feel. I hope that it does not last too long.
I will post more after tomorrow and know more.
I do not like to stay in the hospital so I am hoping that I do not have to stay there.
