I just need some reassurance. Had my mw appt yesterday, and am left just a little frustrated. First off, it was 90 degrees and I had the car without air conditioning. So I was hot and cranky by the time I got to the appt and then their waiting room had to be 90 degrees. The nurse comes out to get me and says "My is it hot in this room." I tell her yes it is and I know my bp will be high. Well, it is a little high- 140/80. But I know I do not tolerate heat well. And then, come to find out, last week I had +1 protein (you want none) but this week was none. We re-took my bp when I was done and it had gone down a little to 128/82. So my concern is the whole pre-eclampsia thing. I've been doing sooooo much better this pg doing the things you are supposed to do to prevent PE. But this is how it started with my son- one week my bp would be high but protein fine, the next week the reverse. And I'm trying to reassure myself (and my mw reassured me) that just because I have a week here or there where something comes up, it doesn't mean I will end up have PE again. Esp. since it was only my bp being high and I was understandably uncomfortable from heat. I had a nurse take my bp on Monday and it was 117/71, so I know I shouldn't stress myself (esp since that would only make the problem worse). But I did have the nurse try and take my bp this morning to reassure myself and it was so high it wouldn't register on their machine
We are going to try again at lunch. Grrrr....
