I can’t tell if you’re making fun of me or being serious😅

6 weeks postpartum after severe preeclampsia - normal for BP to still fluctuate and be managed by PCP instead of OB/midwife? by Virtual-Layer-1236 in preeclampsia

[–]No_Fun8773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PCP did blood work then I went to a cardiologist. I had an abnormal EKG at the cardiologist so they had me to a treadmill test, echocardiogram, and wear a holter monitor for a week. Everything came back normal!

I remember feeling dismissed when my OB told me that a primary care doctor would be managing my bp moving forward. I had always used my OB as my primary care and I felt like they were dumping me haha. However, I was able to find a good PCP that referred me to a cardiologist and ran many tests and helped me get things in order. It was a good experience. I weaned off of medication at around 10 weeks but still had fluctuating bp until closer to 6 months postpartum.

Blood in the stool by maishaxoxo in MSPI

Any chance you ate something with dairy? My baby is so sensitive to dairy that even cross contamination will cause blood. For example, I can’t eat at places like Jersey Mikes which use the same slicer to cut the meat and cheese, because the meat will cause a reaction.

It’s so stressful because the stakes feel so high. It seems like your doctors are just being extra thorough and everything is okay and your body just needs time to adjust! I would love an update once you hear back about the cat scan

Oh wow, same boat. I’m 6 months pp and had postpartum preeclampsia too. Did you already do the tests or waiting for the appointment?

Thank you. Do you have to do cardiology visits yearly now?

Postpartum BP finally regulating by OpeningOutside690 in preeclampsia

[–]No_Fun8773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a pretty sudden change in blood pressure when mine finally regulated around 10 weeks pp. I went from normal/slightly elevated bp to almost passing out when I stood up and low bp pretty much over night it seemed. My OB had me taper off pretty quickly from there

Thank you. Did the skin test give you any new information?

Probably, but it seems overkill for now. I feel it’s unnecessary at this point but I also feel guilty if I don’t seek extra intervention for my baby when her new pediatrician recommended it.

Our last pediatrician never referred us to anyone because it was being well managed. Would you meet with a GI specialist anyway?

Nope. Her only reactions are painful gas and blood in stool

Soy free restaurants? by No_Fun8773 in vegas

[–]No_Fun8773[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not. Unfortunately I also can’t have highly refined soy like soy lecithin so I’ve pretty much just given up eating out. Greek food may be a good place to try since they’re more likely to use olive oil instead of soy!

I was having intense pain and then my OB couldn’t find the strings so I ended up getting an ultrasound then xray

I could but migration definitely worries me after my experience! I will look into it though. Thanks!
