I was put on blood pressure meds today. I had been checking it at home, work, and the doctors (of coarse) and it went from only up during stress to high and not budging.
So he put me on meds. The thin g about it is, this doctor doesn't write prescriptions for anything, and doesn't even like pregnant women to take tylonol so I know that I need the medication if he prescribed it. My husband even understood that point after flipping out of bp meds for me, but we know the
DOC well.
I am waiting on tomm night when my husband will be home alone with me to take it since I tend to have a lot of medication allergies. I would hate to be home with the kids alone and something happen.
At least my husband is a paramedic, and can intervine if something bad happens.
Then, of coarse there were signs of me being sick in the urine sample from last week, with blood, ketones, etc going on (TMI I know). IT was fine today.
Hes going to do another ultrasound at 20 weeks exactly to hopefully "sex" the baby and just a check up on him or her. The heart rate was fine today, they actually picked it up with no issues.
Im OVER IT!!! I wish I could have a normal healthy pregnancy!
I am having blood pressure issues, the bad kidney stone last week, and I haven't been sleeping well at all, I get tired a lot, my gallbladder is shot all to heck, and I have to wait until i have the baby to get something done for my gallbladder. I still stand by my words I refuse to leave the hospital after having this baby until they tie, burn, and rip out my tubes......
My first was throwing up the whole nine months, a doctor that was non aggressive when I was in labor and didn't give me my epidural (plus I was in labor 20+ hours).
Then second I threw up the whole nine months, had kidney stones (just like this one), stayed in the hospital on and off the whole last 3 months for dehydration. And even with my water breaking at home, an hour trip to the hospital, and them chemically helping the labor along I was in labor for 12 hours.
I am guessing with 20 for the first, 12 for the second, I have a good 4-6 hours with this one (I won't take it for granted, I will go straight to the hospital, with fear of my husband having to deliver a baby on the side of the interstate).
Okay, now I am going to try to be happy about having another baby...lol
That is the ONLY positive thing about it for me. I get another little one. Hopefully a girl. IT better be healthy too....
