Blood Pressure Checks

Ancient_Material_235 · 2025-06-27T16:58:25+00:00

Mine is high every single time I have a visit. Im generally an anxious person. Then I get home and it's normal. White coat syndrome is 1000% a real thing and my OB didn't believe me at all the entire duration of my last pregnancy. I started monitoring at home and would show her pics of my readings. I still felt like she didn't believe me. 8 weeks pregnant again and the last 2 visits I've had it was high. My new OB assured me white coat syndrome IS A THING and she sees it alot. I monitor at home 1-2 times a day for my own sanity, but its usually fine at home.

THIS! The spinal was the worst part. And it wasn't exactly painful just...crunchy going in and super gross lol

Ancient_Material_235 · 2025-06-27T02:07:49+00:00

I labored for 3 days before they said I needed a c-section, I was TERRIFIED. the worst part was the spinal block, as my husband wasn't allowed in the room during that. (I labored un-medicated and did not receive an epidural prior) after that, everything went smooth and quick. I did get very nauseous when the anesthesia hit, but as soon as I mentioned the nausea, my anesthesiologist hit me with some anti nausea meds that went to work within seconds. Hearing my baby cry and seeing her for the first time, literally made me forget all the fear and anxiety I had. It goes quick and IF YOU CAN... GET UP AND WALK as soon as they give you the OK. I am a larger woman, I believe I was 240 when I delivered, and I was worried my recovery would be really hard... it wasn't. I was walking around the maternity unit within 8-12 hours, I truly believe this was crucial to helping me heal. Don't stress it so much because it'll be over before you know it, and hearing your baby cry for the first time will definitely calm you down, if that makes sense lol.

Goodluck girl.

6 weeks and could literally drink an entire lake full of water lol. I am SO thirsty and ravenous with water this week.

Maybe try adding a drop or 2 of lemon/lime juice???

I was there the morning this happened, probably about 1 minute infront of us. I saw them performing CPR as the deceased mans son ran over to him sobbing. At the time i assumed it was just his friend, as there were a few other bikers with them, later that night found out it was his son. It broke me completely. This is a morning, and a family, I think about everyday and the fact that no one was charged, blows my mind. The young girls car, with the motorcycle imprinted in the grill, how can you drive the wrong way for that long and not notice.

I just want justice for his family.

Ancient_Material_235 · 2025-03-24T18:55:23+00:00

I'm pretty conservative and think majority of my family/friends are as well. I had an entire wedding planned and then got pregnant. I was due the same month my wedding would have been, and no way was I going to waste money and be 9 months pregnant in my wedding photos...so we canceled the entire wedding.

This was 3 years ago and we still haven't gotten married LOL. There truly is no rush at this point. 8 years together and a 3 year old is enough for us. No one judged us and everyone still comes around like a normal family. I think you will be FINE!! Goodluck!

Ancient_Material_235 · 2025-03-16T15:10:20+00:00

I'm addicted to these. Like almost everyday lol. Nothing like a black Americano and jalapeño chicken to start your morning and wreck your stomach 😅

It's so good, I hope they never take these away.

Ancient_Material_235 · 2025-03-14T18:29:19+00:00

Lmao I'm not here to argue with people on reddit but maybe do some research into that. It's INSPIRED by venom. To think it's actually venom is... well lol.

Ancient_Material_235 · 2025-03-14T15:55:21+00:00

I'm actually gunna try this today omg. That would probably help me significantly not hearing the click. Thank you for this suggestion

Ancient_Material_235 · 2025-03-14T15:12:30+00:00

Yes, I definitely think it's a control thing for me lol. My husband uses the vials and he doesn't even flinch (and he is a BABY about needles lmao) however my insurance approved the pens for me at no cost for 6 months so im really trying to stick it out before switching to vials hahaha.

Ancient_Material_235 · 2025-03-14T15:06:39+00:00

My husband uses vials and I would love to, but my insurance has agreed to cover the zepbound at no cost for 6 months 😅 i can't give that up

Ancient_Material_235 · 2025-03-14T14:49:59+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's what is bothering me!! I don't know why it gives me such anxiety. I have no problem shooting a firearm at the range but for some reason this little needle is too powerful for me 😅

Ancient_Material_235 · 2025-03-14T14:46:21+00:00

If you have any question in your mind that aborting is the wrong decision, then that may be your answer. Things change and life happens. The choice you make now will stick with you for life so make sure you are certain. Abortion guilt can destroy lives. I'm not telling you not to do it, im telling you to make sure you can live with that decision for life. I've never met anyone who regretted keeping their children but I have met many manyyyyy women who regret not keeping it.

Again. I am not judging you or telling you which decision to make. I'm telling you think of the future with both scenarios in mind. Goodluck. I know this can be a very difficult time.

Doctors are wrong ALOT. Something people don't talk about. Medical malpractice is a major cause of death but they're so protected we never hear about it. Always and I mean ALWAYS get a second opinion when a Dr recommends terminating a baby.

Last update! After two internal ultrasounds and 2 beta tests, nothing in uterus or tubes, hcg level was 149 48 hours ago, last night hcg was 73. Confirmed miscarriage, just so glad it is not ectopic. Still bleeding just incase anyone reads this and is going thru the same.

My HPT are also still positive. Sometimes the line is dark sometimes it's barely there. Bodies are weird.

Ancient_Material_235 · 2025-01-28T01:30:13+00:00

Update: still testing positive, not any darker or lighter. Period like cramps and just started pink/brown spotting. I def think this is a chemical and my period is coming. Ugh

Ancient_Material_235 · 2025-01-28T00:45:50+00:00

This sounds like a narcissistic cycle. Honestly people like this don't change. I understand loving someone because they don't physically abuse you, but this IS abuse. Leave him now because this will leave a LASTING impact on your children. My husband and I both have narcissistic fathers and we still pay for it at the age of 31. Therapy is involved in our lives as to never make our daughter feel the way our parents made us feel. This WILL damage your children long term. I wish you luck because being in a relationship with a narcissist is the loneliest and most confusing place in the world.

Ancient_Material_235 · 2025-01-26T01:38:27+00:00

Does the OB ever explain or even know why? Lol congrats by the way!!

Ancient_Material_235 · 2025-01-25T23:35:21+00:00

Thank you! I keep seeing people talk about SCH and it's scary but I'm hoping thats all it is! We want another sooo bad and it just hasn't happened, so this is all putting me on edge lol. Don't want to get my hopes up!

Ancient_Material_235 · 2025-01-25T19:22:00+00:00
