Maternity Leave

So my OB put me on Maternity Leave early. I was somewhat expecting to work at the most 3 more weeks and 1 more week at the least. She put me on leave mostly because of my job (I am a RN and I work 12 hour night shifts) but also because my blood pressure has been going up steadily since I became pregnant, I have been having some foot and hand swelling and that I am spilling protein into my urine (TMI?). Granted my B/P isn't terribly high but the other things are all symptoms of pre-eclampsia. I am not very nervous about this, my Mom had pre-eclampsia when she was pregnant with me and she said it was okay. I guess I am mostly nervous about going on leave so early because it might be a little of an economic hardship. I am also concerned that having all this time off wil give me too much time to worry about things...since that is what I do best...worry. I guess I will just have to find things to keep me busy.
