Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

Mine has always been around 100/50 .. my mw is always amazed on how low it is. Yours does seem a little high.... like goddess said I would call then to double check

Mine is like this too right now, but was even lower in earlier pregnancy. Once dh was at an appointment with me and he said "are you even alive?", when was like 80/40.

My bp is in the same range as girlnboots and they've always said that was normal. I've been having puffy hands and feet too so it could be late pregnancy, but safest to get it checked. Hope you're ok hun xx

Update? Did you go in sisterrose?

 

[goddess25]

Hey! I went for a blood pressure check at my local phamacy instead today just to check. It was really high at first, but he did it a couple more times(after id calmed down) and it was coming down. He thinks it's a mixture of me being nervous about having the blood pressure check and it being a bit high. He just said to watch out for any headaches or anything. I havent rang midwife/MAU because im going on wednesday and I thought if I have any more symptoms or the swelling is noticably worse I'll go up to the MAU before wednesday instead and get a urine check too. I think it did come down to about 130 something over 70 something if i remember correctly on the third time he checked(couldve been high 60's) the first time was 141/96 though! i was really panicking lol. The second try a min later was about 130 something over 84 ish so it was coming down quite quickly.

 

[goddess25]

Glad to hear its coming down.

 

[jbell157]

Glad you're Ok sr!

 

[Junebugs]

Good to hear

 

[ptr]

Good news!! Def keep an eye on it!

 

[girlnboots]

Sounds like an awesome excuse to lay around the house and eat chocolate covered donuts, Sister. Oh. Maybe that's just me.

I'm cranky and hormonal today, so I'm working on Marin's Halloween costume. I have a bunch of other stuff to be doing, but crafting always lowers my stress level.

Sounds like you could have what they refer to as 'white coat syndrome'... which is basically nerves about being checked out and potential results or overall stress with medicine in general.

Your blood pressure has been high but at least not too bad. My highest reading throughout pregnancy was 165/102 ... and it was just that, a high reading that didn't amount to anything, it was after a long day of throwing up and not feeling well. Definitely try not to get too worried, but definitely keep on the look out for any other symptoms that would suggest something more serious.

Almost October you guys, can't wait to see all your babies!

 

[lady1985]

omg Im thinking that tonight that September only has two days left...so that means we can nearly say...Im having my baby this month!

Im so feeling anxious at the moment and now and again 'forget' Im pregnant..i think the nerves are really kicking in now eeeek!! :/

 

[nnynny]

SisterRose - Glad your BP has come down!

 

[goddess25]

I can't believe its almost October. .. I am super nervous too and I really really don't want to go into labour and its going to happen soon eek.

 

[girlnboots]

I'm starting to get nervous too. I was anxious and excited before and now I'm just flat out nervous and almost dreading it. As much as I want my baby girl here safe and sound, I'm getting nervous to go into labor and downright terrified to be a mom. I'm assuming its all just normal jitters, but it's still scary.

 

[Girly922]

I think I'm in denial. Lol. I'm not worried about labour at all at the moment and I just feel like this baby is never coming out. Like, I know he/she is. But I can't seem to actually take it in and believe it.

 

[ptr]

I was nervous but once I went in to labor and deliver it was like I had an outer body experience! It was surreal! I am sure it will be the same for this one as well.

 

[goddess25]

Your right ptr. I have birthed 2 kids and know I can do it. Not sure if its my home birth choice that is freaking me out and I know I can change my mind with that.

 

[ptr]

Are you thinking about changing your mind, goddess?

 

[goddess25]

No not really. I have everything ready and I am sure once I am in labour and the midwives are here it will be fine at that point.
