Pregnancy update

I had a Drs. apt. yesterday and lately Ive been feeling great. So I was a little suprised to find that my blood pressure was high and I had protein in my urine. My doctor was very concerned, especially about my BP. So for the weekend, I am on bed rest and I have a follow-up apt. on Monday as well as an ultrasound. The symptoms I have are typical symptoms for preeclampsia. Which in extremes can cause problems for both me and the baby. Hopefully, these symptoms clear up by Monday, and I am not on bed rest the rest of my pregnancy. I'm 31 weeks right now, so I have a few weeks to go until I'm considered in the clear if they need to take the baby early. Hopefully that will not need to happen. Despite everything, I am feeling good and have not had a lot swelling today either. I will update once I find out how things on Monday. God is in control and I know that he will protect our little girl. Ive been praying for wisdom on how I need to take it easy and being careful what I do. I want our little one to be as safe as possible.
