Re: Headaches ***UPDATE***
Just wanted to add a personal experience: I had frequent headaches when I was younger. Began only occasionally, grew more frequent (once a month) then to once a week. I spent a lot of time in the nurses office... and had many grandparent trips to pick me up or drop off medicine. In 6th grade it came...

Re: BP issues one year PP
Uggh.
I just can't understand why it was normal for a couple months before skyrocketing. It could be way worse. I am with you though. I am going to try to lose some weight and see if that helps.

BP issues one year PP
My goodness! My blood pressure (after *only* being Chronic with pregnancy #2) took 5 months to regulate. It went to normal 117/65 and stayed there all summer. The last couple of months (November and December) my blood pressure shot back up. It has been 165/106. I have been getting headaches and visu...

Re : What was your BP?
<t>My doctor with my last pregnancy explained it was a really difficult line to walk because they don't want to medicate unless it is absolutely essential. That babies tend to tolerate a slow increase in bp much better than high pressure, dropping super low and then still possibly climbing. She also...

Re : Mag Sulfate
<t>I was on mag for 48 hours with both pregnancies and Mag sucks! <br/> <br/> I didn't have any true side effects, I just remember a fogginess. And that I don't remember much of the time I was on the mag sulfate. It definitely was worse the higher the dose I was on, but when I was prepared for it me...

Re : Natural ways to lower bp's (pp)
<t>Give it time! My bp was still high until 5 months to the day pp. Then overnight (literally) it went from 150/90 to 115/70. And has been perfect since. I was dieting at the time, but wasn't losing weight (bum deal!). I think my body just needed time to go back to normal and get all the hormones ou...

Re : When did you start home BP checks?
<t>Hmm... With my first I developed late/quick onset at 39 weeks. Never even knew to be worried. With my second, my bp skyrocketed at 10 weeks so I started then. Even when my bp dipped in the 2nd trimester I took it daily for peace of mind. I started taking it 2-3 times a day the higher it got until...

Re : Should I be concerned?
<t>While there are members who have experience PE prior to 20 weeks or early onset right after, I wouldn't worry too much if your bp is low. To be diagnostic for PE your bp has to rise. HOWEVER, I wouldn't rely too heavily on the 140/90 if your bp is consistantly really really low. I would make the ...

Re : to call or not to call that is the question.
<t>Glad you got clarification. I always called. Nothing ever came of calling though, because they always told me that if I was concerned to go to the hospital. There they would draw blood, take one blood pressure while I was on my side for an hour and then send me home. Even when the one pressure wa...

Re : No more children?
We are happy with our two happy girls. I haven't completely ruled out another pregnancy because I am so young and I don't know how I will feel in 5-10 years. But right now we are not even considering it. I am done with bed rest and the stress!
