modified bedrest :(

So Sunday I painted little mans room because I asked my mother in law for 3months now to do it and she wouldn't, Monday I was having lots of pressure/pelvic pain and contractions (not sure if they were real or BH) and I just felt like something was wrong, called my dr. Office and they made me come in, my blood pressure was elevated 142/78, and I had lots of glucose in my urine (happens a lot with my pregnancy), she was concerned cus I was seeing floaty spots and had a headache, she did a nonstress test (normal), I had to do a 24hour urine :( (not sure of results ), drew blood ( normal) , cervix still closed, and she did the strep b swab, she made me stay home from work Tues to relax, and I went back today to get my results, she said my bp went down to 126/68, my baby is head down but sunny side up, so I have to try to flip him, and she said I can only go back to work if I'm not stressed out and able to sit down during the day, I'm generally on my feet 8-10hrs a day... So I tell my bosses and they have Me come in to talk and then just send me him!?! Really you couldn't talk on the phone... But my dr said I'm measure at 38wks but I'm 36tomorrow, she thinks he may come early :/ sorry so long but just a little stressed/freaked out... She said if I get any headaches/dizziness/or see spots I'm immediately on bed rest no questions asked... I'm worried cus I can't afford that :(
