I can't remember the last update I gave. But the single dose did nothing so they upped it to a double dose and said I'll have 24hr monitoring which means a 2nd night in hospital. The double dose should work within an hour I still had terrible readings and then 1 good one 4hours past my last dose. We hoped it was a delayed reaction and the meds were finally working only to have the next reading be atrocious :-( then I had one "okay" one and then one good one!!!

So still the same dose to be regiven at 9pm and then lots more monitoring and my 2nd nights stay.

:hugs: I am sorry its taking so much to get your bp back under control. Hoping the double dose works for you and you get to go home to Eva and DH soon. :hugs: sending lots of good thoughts and prayers your way.

LaMere- My mini snoogle has quite the jam packed stuffing. Its stuffed so full that it makes it a job in itself to take the slip cover off to wash it, but you just need to wiggle it bit by bit (not sure if that helps?)

Bethenny- Do they have any rhyme or reason as to possibly why your BP is being crazy?

Well, it does a bit lol. At least to know how stuffed the store bought ones are. Thanks. :)

I'm getting old! :haha: I'm 34! :jo:

Just won a ticket to the Baby Show in London this weekend.:happydance: It's close to where I work so I'm going to pop in with Megan and say hi either before or after. It'll be great to look at double buggies. :thumbup:
 
I turned 29 this past August... Counting down to 30! ( I actually can't wait to be 30, I tend to be more of an "old soul" and it's more fitting )
 
I am 27! Hubby just turned 30.

So i just had a panic attack...dont even know what caused it...i was laying here watching tv and i felt like my heart was palpitating, checked my sugar thinking it was going low but nope, perfectly normal.... Then i got really nauseous and for the next 5 minutes my heart rate kept ncreasing, so i put the stopwatch on to count how fast it was going and i couldnt even concentrate to do that! Then i start sweating..texted hubby( he works 5 min away) and remember texting to him, u need to come home i think im going to pass out.... The room went really fuzzy...... I remember crawling up the stairs, rippig my sweats off bc im sweating so much and just laying down and focusig on my breathing... Then it went away!!
Hubby walks in ..im half naked, and freezing bc i was sweating......i dont ven know what caused it...

I had one about a year ago but it was more intense and i ended up in the e.r. Bc my entire face went numb and i couldnt breathe ... But havnt had one since.

On top of it i think i freaked out even more ecause baby was kicking like crazy when my heart rate was increased... :(. Maybe im just overwhelmed with the pregnancy..who knows..

I called the ob just to be safe and they said just relax...
 
Poor you sounds like a classic panic attack and it's horrible when they come on for no apparent reason. I used to get them where my face would go numb and then someone told me to cup my hands over my mouth and breath in and out steadily. Apparently by doing that you get more carbon dioxide in your blood and that helps to ease the numbness (and regulate your breathing). Not sure how true that is, but it works for me. It's really scary though! I haven't had them so much since I got pregnant, but used to get them alot when I was younger. I think because I know how to deal with them better they happen less. Hope you are feeling better now!
 
Sassy, here are some books I googled on non-medicated childbirth. The first two are half birth stories/half info.

1. Ina May Gaskin's Guide to Childbirth (I recommend anything by Ina May)
2. Home Birth in the Hospital
3. The Birth Partner (a good one for both you and Dh to read)
4. The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth (a good reference book)
5. Obstetric Myths vs. Research Realities
6. Optimal Care in Childbirth: The Case for a Physiologic Approach
7. Hypnobirthing: The Mongon Method
8. Natural Birth In A Hospital
9. Active Birth: The New Approach to Giving Birth Naturally
10. The Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth

I am sure there are a ton of others, but if you really wanna read about it that should be more than enough to start you out. :hugs:

Yea my attack that happened a year ago had those symptoms, my whole face and throat went numb and i couldnt swallow.... I really need to realize the synptoms so i can talk myself down and breathe! What a pain!
 
@Brieri: Happy Birthday! Hope you have a good day!

@Betheney: Hope they manage to control ur BP!

@Nikki: Wow, that's scary! Hope you feel better hun, and relax!

I'm 27 and hubby is 24 haha.
 
:hugs: I'm glad you are okay, Nikki. I would have been scared to death if that happened to me, especially with being home alone with Rayven. :hugs:

Oh and hubby just turned 25 lol.. I forgot about him when I posted my age. :haha:
 
Nikki I'm glad you are ok!!! How scary! Thank goodness your DH is so close. Take it easy for the rest of the day. I have heard those are scary to have! Hope you are feeling better. :hugs:
 
Hubby and I are both 26 although his birthday is Jan 9th so he may turn 27 before lo arrives :)
 
I am having a rough day today. My neighbors are in their last 30's/early 40's. The wife was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer 2 years ago and has been battling it since. In the last couple of months, she started losing her battle.

She is terminal. She has brain metastasis that has gradually made her lose function. She was using a cane for awhile, then a wheelchair. Today I saw nurses going in and out of the house and I can only assume she is receiving Hospice care. (In the US, Hospice care is available to terminally ill patients and has nurses come to the house to administer narcotics and other medications to keep people comfortable while they die.)

It is crushing. She is so young and I can't even imagine what her DH and 2 step children are going through. Watching death is emotionally hard but more so when you are already on a hormonal roller coaster.

I told my DH he needs to live forever. Hug your spouses a little harder tonight.
