So, I have had high blood pressure throughout this pregnancy. It is more than likely what caused me to bleed. I have been on medication which has really kept it down. Most of the time it was in the 120's and the bottom number was actually below 80. So today, when I went to the doc, it was 160/80...WHAT???? So ofcourse I freak out because I associate it with bleeding and bad! The doc went ahead and took it again, and it was 140/78, which he said was ok. But, I am trying to think of what all has changed that might have broght it up...well...
I have been going out and walking more...shopping and stuff.
I am addicted to Mac and Cheese and hot dogs...processed foods
I have been drinking sprite, which has sodium in it
I have been eating out a lot, which has a ton of sodium in its food.
So, I have decided to change these things. I don't HAVE to go out and shop...and the foods are easy to fix. I am trying to eat healthy things now. So, back to being on somewhat bedrest...I shouldnt be up at all when I am home...except to go to the bathroom. I am determined to not stress over little things and I am making sure I stay inside in the air conditioning! I have made it this far, and I am determined to keep myself and Bradyn healthy!
Anyone who has any idea how to help keep theblood pressure down please give me some advice!!!
I pray for 7 1/2 weeks of healthy pregnancy!!! We are almost there!!!
