Hi guys,
just nipping on quickly...claire hun thanks for the texts today, you're a wee gem! Doctors went good and bad i suppose...
He took more bloods to check my thyroid (but i didnt faint this time!! woo!), and then took 3 readings of my bp...one when i was sitting up and it was like 80 over 50 again, then he took it when i was lying down and it went up to 90 over 60 (i think? lol) and then he took it again sitting up and it dropped back to 80 over 50 again!!
so he said your trend at normal (sitting up) is very low...so he foned the obstetrician for a consult and OB said that low bp is actually
good for baby but bad for
me! but he advised as i get further along and baby gets bigger it will only get worse, and i will feel increasingly faint, weak and will easily pass out
as the pressure on my arteries will only increase...
so good news is baby is safe and bad news is...im not lol. I'l probably suffer from exhaustion, dizziness and will be prone to fainting
Only thing Ob could prescribe is rest!! (not that i already dont take it easy!!) Im meant to avoid situations where i have to stand longer than 10 mins and sleep whenever my body tells me to! So yeah...thats the low-down from me from today...
trying to catch up...
Happy 30 weeks MS and Heidi!!
im so very jealous of you...
and good luck Aimee and Callie for your scans tomorrow!! May your little boyo's be co-operative!!
