PG again with your 4th, 5th, or even 6th child?

[allforthegirl]

That is hard. I am sorry youre having such a go of this. I would be feeling the same if I was in your position. i would tell my DH if he was like this, that he needs to learn how to fix his car cause he is the one that broke it! Men!!

 

[blessedmomma]

masonsbaby- yay cant wait to hear!!! my intuitions must be shot. I have been wrong 4 out of 6 times... so far.

chalrhow- how frustrating!!!!

 

[tryn4]

Cryss-yep hormones screwy..pregnancy thumbs up!

Charl- I hope everything works out which it will. I share 1 car, we can't afford insurance on 2 ($480 per MONTH) and it p's me off daily (i finish work @ 5, he finishes 7pm, so I work late or wait for him which is very aggravating, worse while pregnant)

So guys I'm freaking out & need your sound opinion. I went to my monthly appt, everything good, hb sounded fine, 139bpm, he examined me said everything looks good, normal etc. 2 things that bothered me but didn't bother the doc..in fact he was so sweet told me I'm off to a great start and even welcome me back with a kiss on my cheek bless his 99 yr old heart lol. BUT #1 I gained 5 pounds since August 8th, & my bp was 140/90. So I freaked until the nurse was like well it was the same when you were pregnant with your 1st at 19 yrs old. I asked the doc about it he said my arm is bigger & I'm probably getting a false high because of the cuff, also I ran up some stairs & across a couple streets just prior. He also said that my reading wasn't so bad anyway. He was really nonchalant. I did feel slightly better when she said all my previous pregnancy this was very normal for me. Do u guys think I need to worry?

tryn4 - what is your BP normally? 140 /90 is on the high side of normal (but depending what your 'normal' is) ,Above 140 would be classed hypertension, but if your normal is 135 or 140 then tht is why he probably is not concerned about it. My booking in BP was low- 90/50 or something; so for me 140/90 would be scarily high lol.

I have gained 14lbs in just over 14weeks, don't know how much in the past month alone though xxx

 

[allforthegirl]

I don't since you have done all that prior to getting it taken. What I would do is just keep an eye on it. Go into Shoppers and check it on one of those BP machines. If it continues to be high then I would say something more. right down times when you take it and keep a log of it. It may help you. Also try meditation that can also bring BP down a bit. I hope you find the answer you are looking for love!

 

[Masonsbaby]

Masonsbaby -yay! hope your scan is brilliant. Do you have any feelings towards what baby is?

thankyou I think its a boy but we'll see! Only6 hours eek!

 

[blessedmomma]

tryn4- there is something called whitecoat syndrome or something like that I heard of. my DH has it and his bp is always higher at the dr. something about being at the dr making you feel different and it can change bp. he takes his at home also and its never as high as they register it. I would take yours somewhere else. and like everyone said, depends on whats normal for you. I haven't gained anything yet, but I look like I have. not sure why but I usually don't gain til 3rd tri and then I put on 10-20 lbs all of a sudden.

back from NT scan and baby looks really healthy specialist says looks very clearly to be a based on nub theory. its nearly 100% so we believe it. they took blood for verifi test so we will get better results for genetic probs and will know for sure the gender in a week or two

we decided to do gender reveal party even though Jason and I will know the gender. we still want the kids and our guests to get the surprise. cant wait to see my kids faces when they find out



there is some better 3d pictures, but this one is where they checked gender for us

 

[Chalrhow]

blessedmomma... Congrats on your little girl Im starting to debate if i will find out gender or keep it a surprise I really wanted a surprise this time but starting to think i might want to know so i plan ahead

tryn4... 140/90 is a little high, can you visit your GP and have them check it again for you when your not quite as harassed running up stairs etc... My BP is usually 120/65 ish, if it ever gets high i get sent to Daycare to have it monitored, bloods taken to check liver etc and make sure my BP comes down and bloods are fine... Hopefully its nothing to worry about !

[crysshae]

Tryn - Sounds like if it's normal for you it should be fine. I agree with everyone. Check it somewhere else. As for the 5 pounds, I've done that before, and then the next month I'll lose a pound or two.

Blessed - Congratulations on your healthy scan and little girl!

Chalrhow - I'm so sorry about the car problems. Those are a pain!

 

[tryn4]

Thanks girls. I agree its on the high side but I do have a problem with cuffs fitting me. My arms r really big. I almost fainted when she told me during my pregnancy in 1999 (my second) my bp was 145/100! Wth! I'm surprised he never mentioned that back then. Of course now I'm older I ask questions & know what numbers mean...I would say my normal is around 130/86 maybe a little less. Im going to try to monitor it at the pharmacy, but even in the machine it reads high because cuff is small...oh me & my big arms lol..in regards to the weight..well I'm just gonna watch it..try & eat a bit healthier after 4 months of vomiting I went a wee bit crazy..

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

Congrats on your baby girl blessed!

 

[blessedmomma]

tryn- I noticed now that im feeling better I am starting to eat a lot more too. its nice to not be sick all day! all I could keep down was fruits and veggies and today I had a meatball sub yum! the smell alone would have sent me to the toilet a week ago lol.

 

[Masonsbaby]

Well its a BOY!!!! I'm so happy my son was desperate for a brother and now we'll have two of each! So blessed

 

[wannabubba#4]

Blessed -congrats on your girl and
Masonsbaby congrats on your boy

Wow things are becoming real now with more and ore people knowing what they are having lol

tryn4 - not acceptable to blame cuff size for you BP registering high and doing nothing about it - surely they can order in a bigger size. I work in and ICU we have sizes to fit EVERYONE xxxx

 

[ricschick]

congrats on the baby girl blessed and congrats Masonsbaby on the baby boy I think we are team yellow this time but that could change as dh has no patience lol

I agree id get blood pressure tested again! cant they use a man sized band?? stupid people!!

feeling crampy for the last 3 days so im hoping something is getting comfy I mean we have bedded everyday and if not every day its been every other day so I should have a good chance surely"!
im 30 in a few weeks so that would be a nice birthday present!!

 

[Flins26]

Hi everyone, I found out today that we are quite possibly expecting a surprise baby #4! Haven't made it to the doctor to confirm via blood test yet but have had two positive hpt's today and yesterday. We already have a boy and two girls so another blue bundle would be nice but either way it wont matter. Still trying to process what this is going to mean for all of us. Especially as #3 is not quite 9 months. If my dates are right will be due on
12th May 2014

 

[crysshae]

Congratulations on your boy Mason!

Fingers crossed for you Rics.

Congratulations Flins!

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

Yay for a boy Masonsbaby!!

My hormones are SO out of whack. I cry over EVERYTHING. Whew. It's somewhat exhausting.
