[sethsmummy]

Woo gz on your BP being good hun!

This morning i felt very very rough. When i was walking it was like i was drunk.. so after coming home from dropping ds1 at nursery i went back to bed and slept till 1:30pm! Still have my stupid head ache but iv had no calls from the midwife so either my bloods haven't come back yet or they have came back ok x

 

[MizzPodd]

Glad bp was good! hope it stays!

No news is good news Seth!

Hi everyone, I have only read through the last 3 pages. I have not been told I have Pre E yet, but was placed on labetalol at 14 weeks because of headaches and bp was running 135/94. Once I started the labetalol and procardia my headaches went away and bp has been doing great. Then over the last 2 weeks my headaches have returned and my bp has been running 128/90 to 120/80. A few weeks ago it was running 107/68 while I was in the hospital. I am on strict home bed rest because of IC so I am not active or anything. Could the bp be causing the headaches even with my bp not being bad. Sometimes I take it and it is normal and other times it is high. I had no BP issues my last pregnancy

Hey. I know stress or anxiety can cause a sudden rise in bp. Your situation is similar to mine. Well except I had pre e with dd1, but I delivered at 39 weeks nd I didn't have to take any meds for it. With this current pregnancy, I am on strict bed rest too, and my bp has been elevated a little sometimes and then other times its normal with or without headaches. Today for example, I took it at home when I had a headache and it was 106/75! So I think it can be stress or anxiety cuz each time it was elevated, I was feeling stressed at the time... Hope this helps, but it is so confusing to me too!! I have pre e currently so.... ? I'm glad you don't have it. Did you get the 24 hr urine test so they can check you for pre e? If not, I would ask just so you could know for peace of mind

 

[lambgal]

No I have not had any bloodwork or urine collection done. I am don't feel stressed or have any anxiety. My ob is hoping I make it to 34-35 weeks before we deliver. I have an appointment on Monday, and my bp was high there the past couple weeks as well. I will ask him then about the headaches, they get so bad that I get nauseated and can't eat.

If you haven't had and stress I really think it may be pre e I hope it's not but ask them to check. It's best to know if you have it

Hi ladies I developed pe with my dd at 34 weeks was admitted to hospital and subsequent day hospital visits until I was induced at 37 weeks. She was delivered at 37+ 4 via emergency c section.

I am been very relaxed and just lay here at home, I am not worried about Judah coming early or anything like that, my last was a 30 weeker so maybe I never got far enough along for my Pre E to start to show up. But is it normal for bp to go back and forth with Pre E or is it always high? I know there are other things that you have to have as well to be classified as Pre E (bloodwork, protein, ect.) I am on procardia every 6 hours for contractions and bp.

For me yes with dd1 and this one. Sometimes it would be high and then normal, and I was still pre e. I guess it varies from woman to woman. But for me yeah sometimes it was elevated and sometimes not; especially with my current pregnancy. Fortunately I never had to get the meds though.

 

[MizzPodd]

Oh and sometimes it could be chronic hypertension induced by pregnancy. I remember my doc telling me about how you can have that without pre e.

Woah! I pray it doesn't get worse and you have baby within the next week

 

[sethsmummy]

debzie - I hope your bp stabilizes hun, although if you needed to have baby youd be perfectly safe 36 weeks is great.. and especially so if your body holds on a few more days for 37 weeks.

Lambgal - you can have the headaches without pre-e. Sometimes pregnancy caused head aches. I also think that high BP on its own can cause head aches.

How are you feeling today MissPodd? Im now on day 7 of my headache.. never heard back from the midwife yesterday so either my bloods are fine or she never got them back. She did say it could be Monday before i heard anything depending how busy the lab was. Urgh... no dizziness so far today so thats good. Got a busy day today. Need to get some tidying and sorting out done and then my sister is coming over with her 4 kids... so i know by the time they leave my BP is going to be sky high as her kids are little shites Must remember today to hide all of my sons toys in his room before they get here.

Awww I hope you really had fine results and lmao about your sisters kids hahahaha wow! Please take it easy missy, rest as much as you're able. You told me you would after you got some things sorted yes I will keep bugging you because I want you to have a great rest of pregnancy before your baby makes their arrival. I know you have much to do but let your sis know if you are feeling stressed! Keep that bp down okay? but I wish you the best with all if those kids today

 

[MizzPodd]

hey mix podd u labouring yet? xx

Good lord no! Lol I think you combined my name with the other lady whose getting induced I'm only 21 and a half weeks!

 

[sethsmummy]

lol ooo they are awfull! I have to hide all of seths toys because they either fight over them or break them. i am having a "mad week" this week to get everything sorted out and then thats it. 100% rest for me sis brought her friends daughter too so that was 5 of them running round, not listening and screaming and making a mess when id literally just finished the living room when they walked through the door.

lil man is fast asleep on me now so its chill time then when he gets up ill gp scrub the bathroom to within an inch of its life while dh cooks a roast dinner yum yum. the rest can wait till tomorrow xxx

 

[MizzPodd]

Okay but that's it! Today handle your business but tomorrow.... Rest rest rest! You know to be honest, if my hubby read my responses he would tell me to practice what I preach lol he's happy doctor put me on complete bed rest with no exceptions until I deliver. If I wasn't told by doctors, I'd be stubbornness and still running around everywhere too so I can't blame you

Oh yeah, tomorrow is my birthday and I'm on bed rest! What do I do? I was thinking of asking for some nice flowers so I can look at them... But I don't have any other ideas

 

[sethsmummy]

awwww flowers, cake, breakfast in bed, a nice slap up meal in bed with a little candle

yeah with me its just wanting things done. Once they are sorted it will only take 20 minutes a day to keep on top of and i dont have to stress about not being ready for him coming. Everyone will be told as of next weekend if they make a mess when they visit i will kill them they all need to realise how close i am and just because they disrespect their own home does not mean they can come into mine and do the same. Im dreading my consultant saying bed rest thursday so thats why i want it all done the next few days. somehow i cant imagine dh on his hands and knees scrubbing the skirting boards

xxx

 

[bumpsmum]

Sorry mizz podd haha just realised I put your name in instead of nov-mum lol think yours must have been one of last names I noticed before posting wishing you many more months resting lol xx
