So I went to the dr tonight

And I passed my 1 hr. But my blood pressure was Hugh so she made me lay down for 10 minutes and re did it. It went down a bit but she wants me to come back next week to monitor it. I need to stay away from salt for a week and drink lots of water? What can I eat for lunch do u think pb&j us ok? She us concerned I have preclampsia and I am nervous that I have it to. I just don't eat my little girl to be born early

I am happy though that I get a growth soon next week- they need to measure my cervix

Re: So I went to the dr tonight

i could have written your post almost exactly....i went to the doctor tonight also...my bp was also elevated...i also had to lay on my side for 10 mins....it was lower but still a little elevated....i have to go back in 1 week to recheck it also....she didn't mention the salt intake though so i'm not sure what to tell you, but i think pb+jelly should be fine

Re: So I went to the dr tonight

please dont 'eat' your little girl!!!

pbj is fine i think. dont have a bucket of pretzels or frozen/canned stuff.

Re: So I went to the dr tonight

I feel like PB might have a lot of salt? Actually, I just looked and it doesn't really.

I'm glad you passed the 1 hr, hope the bp goes down!

Re: So I went to the dr tonight

i think PBJ is good...make it better on whole wheat bread so you get some good fiber with it.

happy to hear you passed the 1 hour and sorry about your BP....maybe it will be fine next week

Re: So I went to the dr tonight

At 28 weeks I started experiencing severe swelling.

By 32 weeks my BP was elevated. I was put on bedrest the remainder of my pregnancy. Had 2 short hospital stays for observation. Had to complete 3 24 hour urine collections (to check for protein/pre eclempsia).

I wound up going into labor myself at 38w4d, 2 days before my induction and never having anything other than pregnancy induced hyper tension.

My best piece of advice, rest rest rest!! Lay on your left side with your feet elevated above your heart. That will help your blood pressure as well as relieve swelling.

Thx girls and lol bear that's what happens when the iPhone corrects all ur words

Re: So I went to the dr tonight

So far every appt I have had my blood pressure has been high. However, I always think it is my nerves. Even before being pg it would always be high at the doc. The doc takes it again after he examines me and I see everything is ok and it always is much better. So far they haven't told me to do anything else...

I would think PB& J would be fine though!
