Thanks for the input! That is helpful, and good to know that MIL held out for many years before the issue came up.

I haven't been here for a while! I was just wondering for those that had blood pressure issues begin in pregnancy with their preeclampsia diagnosis, since preeclampsia basically exposes your risk of potential future issues-- how long after pregnancy were you able to maintain a healthy blood pressure...

Sounds good! I figured I just don't have much excitement to add. Sorry about how things are going for you... I really hope you feel more yourself soon so you can feel normal again. I went on another brief vacation, so coming back to the same scenario as last time. I didn't gain, but didn't lose, so ...

I know what you mean about kryptonite. I had purposely stopped baking treats for a while, because even if I don't eat many they seem to put weight on me immediately. However if I just have baked goods on a random basis at coffee shops, etc, it is fine. I guess it is probably that I eat more of them ...

I know that docs differ in their approaches, but if my doctor told me that the moment I developed hypertension in a pregnancy that he would put me on bedrest, I would be skeptical too. Generally some docs might do that further along in the pregnancy if the patient is having other issues too, but man...

Definitely agree with the above. I don't have a stress reaction to bp, but I do get white coat hypertension easily, and have for years. I did develop pre-e in my pregnancy, and had elevated bp postpartum for several months. I was fortunate enough to get off meds and that my bp normalized below my pr...

So, surprise today that I weighed 150.5.... after vacation and last week being slight disruptive, I was happy to stay at 152. But this motivates me to keep going. I know it will take a week or two for the new weight to "stick", but I was thrilled! I feel so much lighter and better right now, and wou...

Good job girls! I have been on vacation, so ate lots of yummy food, but mainly stuck to 2 meals a day to make up for that. So, in the end I think I am pretty much the same weight as when I left which is a great accomplishment. I also made myself go on walks every other day, so I got some exercise in...

It is hard to do things "right" when you are feeling off--no doubt about that. I saw that article, and it makes me sad that the kids are impacted by it :-( I can understand myself, as it was one of a few markers I have had to keep an eye out for cardiac issues.... but I don't like that what happened...

Things are kind of the same here.... weight dropped back down to 152.5 despite some 4th of July fun, so that is encouraging. I think I will post my weight for the last time on WW today, as I wasn't really using the tools anyway and cancelled when the 3 months are up. I will just keep on in my own st...
