Hello just some words of wisdom would be nice to hear
Basically have battled BP for last couple of years, have 2 DC DS 4 and DD 2. On monday as a result of BP being high I burst a couple of blood vessels in my eye and thought I had conjunctives: no its BP related. They sent me home to call me in again to say I needed to go onto medication to stabilise it.
Whilst there THIS MORNING my doc asks to check my coil- she can't find it- I get home and bingo am pregnant.
Obviously am numb from being prescribed BP medication but quietly relieved as all the battles I have had with them and the spots in the eyes, the fainting spells etc, the heart monitoring equipment has given me some validation that I was right.
However I am in total shock now. DH and I had a quick chat and were not adverse to having a 3rd but it was going to be if and when everything with my weight management, bp issues were sorted. And we were happy with our 2.
My worries are: Weight gain, issues of BP and my general health and then obviously am older mum.
Tomorrow am having blood tests for cholesterol and then seeing the doc on monday re my pregnancy.
For health reasons I have since lost 2 stone in weight have started swimming and a few fitness class's so I guess I am just wanting to know if its possible to have a healthy pregnancy. I had pre eclapsia with DS and as a result insisted on closer health care with DD and her's was a much easier pregnancy and delivery.
The doc wanted me to come in and discuss my options straight away but I asked for Monday as I won't have the children and DH and I can talk.
And I feel really stupid and embarrassed or am I hormonal I know what my options are but feel very uncertain x any thoughts from other mums out there would be welcomed please
