Please, don't be hypertension!

So today started off just GRAND! Got nauseous while brushing my teeth and ended up puking. It wasn't much, but just watery liquid. Still, blah. Now I'm at work occasionally feeling a little woozy/dizzy. I know they say it's a normal pregnancy symptom, but I went ahead and had my BP checked to be sure. It was a little on the high side. First time was 156/87. Second check was 146/85. I thought it could be my sugar at first (I'm not diabetic), but I ate a friggin' PopTart and some Pepsi this morning. Nutritional I know... But still. I see my OB tomorrow, so I'm going to bring it up. I just pray to God that I don't end up with gestational hypertension or diabetes. I need to do better. I try for the most part, just sometimes I gotta have the junk! :/

Anyways... 3 more days! Ahhh!

	Comment from mrsamanda » Posted Feb. 12, 2014 1:16pm You and me both! I have enough to stress about non baby related. I don't want to deal with any complications or have to walk on eggshells about every little thing.
	Comment from jennavee » Posted Feb. 12, 2014 12:53pm I was just at the grocery store and figured I'd check my BP....it was 130/73 which is high for me. I'm already stressing about it....it's been slightly higher than normal the last 3 times it's been checked. Normally I'm a solid 120/80. That's the LAST thing I want now that I've switched to a birth center and non-medicated birth! On a side note, I had a donut and doritos for lunch. I've been eating really healthy though, so I gave it. I LOVE cheetos too!
	Comment from mrsamanda » Posted Feb. 12, 2014 11:48am Cheetos were THE SHIT in my lunch today. Along with my tuna salad sandwich. :D Cheetos are the shit for me year round though!
	Comment from emmapeal9 » Posted Feb. 12, 2014 11:09am You may not have had enough food this morning. I won't say anything about the pop tart and Pepsi, but more protein is a must. Maybe hardboil a dozen eggs and keep them in the fridge - it's a good grab and go breakfast. I know how easy it is to want some junk now and then. I usually try to stay away from processed foods in my non-pregnant life, but right now Cheetos are THE SHIT! :)
