Could be that, or what my friend had, which was extremely elevated blood
pressure starting around the beginning of her third trimester. Her doctor
was concerned about potential septicemia and ordered her to strict bed
rest of the last three months of her term, plus he insisted on delivery by
Caesarean section. I remember sending her a Junior Archaeologist's Kit
(assemble your own Sumerian pot from the shards provided) and one of
those cardboard cut-out "Build your Own St. Peter's Basilica" kits - to
give her something she could do sitting up in bed when she wanted a break
from reading or TV.
