Feeling really depressed about being on bedrest....?
I was diagnosed today with Pregnancy Induced Hypertension. My blood pressure sky rocketed wednesday, and I swelled up like the goodyear blimp. I was in the hospital for 2 days. My doctor put me on medication and modified bedrest. I feel really guilty and depressed about it. I know I didn't do anything wrong, but I feel like I am being weak or a baby or something. I have always been dependable. I generally push myself and work long hours so I can do my best. I am a teacher at an urban school that has alot of issues. We had a fight break out in first hour on wednesday over gang crap. I love my students it's just a VERY stressful environment. I do not have paid maternity leave, and I only get 6 weeks. I am taking 2-3 extra weeks prior to the birth for bedrest. I know that financially we will get through this. It is just really scary. I feel like I should tough it out. I bounce back and forth. Any words of encouragement or advice for those who are going or been through a similar situation?
