I have gained 50 pounds at 30 weeks pregnant- Is it OK to ask my OB for diuretics
I have pregnancy induced hypertension and pitting edema caused by severe water retention- I am doing all that I can to stop this but I am almost at the end of my rope- I weighted 208 on my monday appt. then stopped by to have my bp checked this morning and it was 214! 6 pounds in five days! The Dr. wants to see me on Monday so they are keeping an eye on it my bp was 138/88- close to border line ( I wonder how high they will let it go before I get put in the hospital??? I am already on bed rest, Low sodium Diet ( I eat nothing canned or processed) lots of salads and fruits, I refill my 32 oz water bottle at least once a day to make sure I get at least 64 oz of pure water plus my milk and juice)
I just have no idea what else I can do- has anyone else on here been on diuretics while pregnant? I just want to be healthy and be able to get up to go to the bathroom without running out of breath! How bad is labor going to be if I'm not strong enough to hold my own weight! LOL this is not for self image- I have a very supportive husband who makes me feel beautiful every day regardless-
Thank you ahead of time- Please no rude answers only serious ones please
