Went to the Dr's today....
Had my Dr appt today, everything went well, I gained 7 pounds.... and my blood pressure was normal but up 2 points from last month, but they said it was probably from all the holiday eating, which it was--lol
I'm sooooo nervous about getting hypertention again like I did with my 1st pregnancy, I didn't develop it till I was 38 weeks, but I am making myself crazy this time trying to eat so healthy and cut out a lot of my salt intake. I just don't know what to eat anymore...
My dr told me to cut out a lot of my carb's too, ummm....WHAT THE HELL CAN I EAT.... It doesn't help being hungry all the time too...
I really can't wait to get these last 4 months over with and not have to deal with all this stress, my biggest fear is my Dr having to deliver my baby to early.... I have nightmares about this.
Just needed to vent...

I'm trying but its so hard...
I haven't been exercising, but Julia keeps me going a lot!!
I drink a lot of water!! My dr didn't seem worried, but he just didn't want to see my blood pressure keep going up, so he wants be to get back on track now since the holidays are over.
I told my DH to buy me a BP kit to keep at home so I can check myself every week--lol

Re: Went to the Dr's today....
Trust me I know....I love to exercise and yet my hips hurts so much that I have not in weeks!
Maybe with you aware it'll be motivation to keep it controlled. Did you have high BP prior to the pregnancy?

Re: Went to the Dr's today....
Nope infact my BP was always low before I got pregnant.
I have no idea why this happends, its so annoying to not eat what you want, and always be watching. I'm always hungry, and never know what to eat.

Re: Went to the Dr's today....
Mel- I'm sure everything will go well! Try not to stress about it b/c that's not good for your BP either!!!

Re: Went to the Dr's today....
im an avid fan of low caarbs anyway, so mel, there is a TON to eat!! i eat a lot of string cheese, pepperoni, almonds, eggs, meats, veggies, salads, tuna....
i buy the pepperidge farm light style whole grain white bread, (90 cals, 2 slices)....and that is my major bread carb for the day....but yeah, there is a ton to snack on, which is what i do all day...i just got done eating a handful of almonds! 
you can do it, dont stress, and eat constantly, small snacks all day long...

Re: Went to the Dr's today....
i know it's easier said than done, but try to relax. stress can add to blood pressure probably as much as food things. give yourself some credit for how healthy you are trying to eat...it sounds great!

Re: Went to the Dr's today....
I agree with the PP; try to relax. Maybe take up a pre-natal yoga class and indulge in a pre-natal massage. That should help lower your BP.
As for the carb thing, that's tough! I would suggest eggs for breakfast (hard-boiled or omelet, etc.).You can always do salads for lunch. Snack on chickpeas, peanuts and bananas. And dinner can consist of chicken or fish with veggies. You're not as limited as you think, but it's a mental hurdle! I'm sure a few carbs here and there can't hurt.

See thats the thing, I CAN'T (my Dr's words) eat salty things either, and cheeses and pepperoni have tons of salt. I can only eat salads, or things very low in salt or no salt at all. I have nighmares at night if I'm ok or did my BP go up more.... I would just die if I had to deliver this baby early.
