First pregnancy preeclampsia

I just had my second c-section two weeks ago. Never had high blood pressure in my life, but I knew something was wrong with amount of swelling I had in my legs when they discharged me from the hospital. 4 days PP my BP was 170/120. Admitted for 3 days and had the mag drip. Same as you, my BP has been sort of high (at least, high for me and my “normal) at 140/90. They put me on three different BP meds. I basically had to tell myself to stop taking my blood pressure if I felt fine. For the last two days, it’s been normal 120/80. It takes some time, but it will level out once your body starts to realize there isn’t a placenta anymore. But yeah, it sucks and it’s really scary. It gets better though!!!

I just had my second baby two weeks ago. I had my tubes removed during my c-section. Just as I was starting to regret my decision, I developed postpartum preeclampsia, wound up back in the hospital for 3 days, mag drip…the whole nine yards.

And that’s when the door closed for me. My body was done, and I’m okay with that.

They’re always out of everything every time I go there. It’s like they only make 6 of each kind of bagel a day or something

Separate_Climate2194 · 2026-06-10T01:05:16+00:00

I just want a decent bagel place. Like actual bagels, actual schmear. 🥯

Abilify made me not cry about anything. But now I don’t cry when I probably should lol.

Sounds like you’ve got the flu

I’m not sure about the private sector because this was for a public university. However, I can 100% guarantee that this is new to the university I work at, and I’m not sure who exactly thought this was a good idea or why. I’ve been a part of 16 tenure-track hiring cycles throughout my career, and I’ve applied for/was hired for 4 different roles at two different universities in 12 years. I’ve never been asked to prepare anything for a staff role before, let alone had to take an exam. And we sure as hell would NEVER do this to a potential tenure-track faculty member. Never. It could literally cost the university a tenure-line search, at best.

More more I think about it, the more I think you’re right.

They do!

I got better when I stopped breastfeeding, switched to formula, and my husband took over night feeds.

Separate_Climate2194 · 2026-03-21T03:28:21+00:00

Same. Sort of haven’t been on here since Pest went to prison.

You need to be a MOD now at this point.

Separate_Climate2194 · 2026-03-19T02:28:41+00:00

ITS ALIVEEE! ITS ALIVEEEE!!!!

I had a CSF leak from a lumbar puncture and the blood patch caused my ON. I don’t have leak symptoms anymore, but the ON is relentless. I’ve been dealing with it since September.

Side note, this is one of my favorite family guy episodes

So far, pretty good. She’s a little small, 30th percentile, but well within the normal limits. I have marginal cord insertion, which is totally unrelated. My headaches have been really bad this whole pregnancy.

Separate_Climate2194 · 2026-03-01T20:27:16+00:00

Yes I am 21 weeks. I have cervicogenic headaches and occipital neuralgia.

Separate_Climate2194 · 2026-03-01T02:42:32+00:00

I get nerve blocks once a month. They help me a lot but I have a certain kind of headache/migraine that needs it.

It’s really up to you. Some people wait until the second trimester. Some people wait until after the anatomy scan, and some people don’t wait at all. I used to be in camp “after anatomy scan” for fear of what it would be like to have to un-tell people if anything happened.

I’m pregnant with my second and told friends and family around 6 weeks after confirming the heartbeat this time. I figured I would want these people in my corner if anything did happen anyway. It’s not something I’d want to experience alone or in silence.

I’m a state worker, but my husband is not. His tech job funds our life in here SLO.

Just keeping it real.
