bp monitoring
Hello! My name is Gia, I'm 32 pregnant with baby boy #1. I am 32wks 3 days. Went to my normal checkup Friday and was told my pressure was too high- 140/88. Never had a problem my baseline is normally around 115/125 systolic. So she send me into the hospital for a NST, labs, 24hr urine, and steroid shots for baby's lungs. My pressure returned to baseline and I was sent home with a follow up the next day. Went back yesterday and had another NST and bp monitoring and my bps were just fine and I was sent home again. They have me so concerned about having my bp done that I think I will always be sky high in the office w anticipation. I have zero signs of preeclampsia other than the couple "higher" pressure readings. No headaches, no swelling, and no weight gain. I've actually lost about 16lbs in the last couple months. Recently lost 6lbs since my last apt 2 weeks ago. I'm a big girl and my baby is around 5.5 so I'm not real concerned about a little weight loss. ;) hoping no protein comes up in my urine. I go back to the drs on Monday so fingers crossed that my bp remains good and there is no protein. I need to keep little meatball cooking as long as I can. Hopefully another month at least. Need some prayers and lots of positive vibes!! 💙💙💙
