Thanks Debbie. I'll be sure to be very careful and remind my doctors of that if the phrase "just PIH" is used :)

<t>So, my doctor's appointment went very well. I kind of scrapped my question list because I immediately got the feeling of concern and comfort I was looking for. The doctor came and got me out of the examining room and brought me to his office. He was very open and receptive to my questions and con...

I literally asked my doctor this question less than an hour ago. He says if there is any correlation between decreased risk and shorter gaps, it likely has more to do with maternal age.

<t>My bp spiked postpartum and I was on a low dose of Procardia for 16 weeks before it just returned to normal. My doctor actually told me to throw out my bp monitor because I was taking it 3 times a day as well. I agree that the lower readings might mean you're getting there, I think your body need...

<t>Aaah...thank you mom29. You know, while I do trust my doctor and feel very comfortable with her, I can see others in the practice being a little reliant on it being "just PIH."
