BP, BP what did I do to you???

169/101
145/105
150/100

That seems to be the pattern of bps for the past few days. Interspersed with a few more reasonable numbers of high 130s/80s.

Back to the GP tomorrow. Expecting an increase in meds. 16w tomorrow with the new dates.

The "living baby" thing is moving farther and farther away with each inflation of the bp cuff. Who the F* was I kidding? I'll be lucky at this rate if I even make it to 24w again.

A little disheartened, to say the least.

PS- thanks for understanding my crazy mental state of the last post- you all are really my best (only?) support in all this.

I know you can't 'relax' your way to a lower bp; likewise, you didn't cause it either! Don't add extra stress to yourself. Take care, breathe, keep up your fluids. And try to relax :)

fingers crossed......

I wont even say one day at a time. One hour at a time now is good enough. Just keep moving forward Heather.

I'm just so sorry honey. It's not fair.

Yoga? Trashy novels?
I'm sorry you are having such a rough time. If only the world was a fair place.

Just remember, the difference this time is that you are monitoring your bp and because of that, you will get your meds increased and it will get back under control.

Just TRY to take it one step at a time. I know after all you have been through it is a lot harder to do. Just make sure to take good care of yourself and take deep breaths. You are in my thoughts and prayers always!
