<t>I landed in the ER one morning and after laying down for 1/2 hour my BP was 198/112. I have no idea what it was when I first came into the ER but it was apparantly high enough for the nurse to triage me in front of other patients and make me use a wheelchair. <br/> <br/> The doc at the ER sent me...

<t>After delivery my BP was normal (even low) for about 5 days. No meds or anything. I went home and my pressures shot up to even higher than they were before delivery. I went back on the meds and my pressure stayed high for about two weeks. Then they slowly dropped, I weaned off the meds again, and...

I went into labor at 36w3d and they sent me over to the hospital for a c-section a few hours after the first contractions started. I was scheduled for a c-section at 39 weeks but the doc had already told me he would be very surprised had I made it that far.

<t>I would ask your doc at your next appt about your numbers. What are your normal pre-pregnancy blood pressures?<br/> <br/> As far as excercise goes... I couldn't even sit up without popping 140s-150s/90s-100s so excercise was out of the question! Heck, sitting in a chair for two hours at a birthda...

<t>I had been feeling run down and tired. It was over the holidays and I would go and have dinner and hang out with family and end up with a raging headache and just be flat out exhausted and hungover feeling (nausea, headache, tired) the next day or two. I chalked most of it up to pregnancy until t...

Congratulations!!!

I had three without any complications. I was told that 2-3 was the "max" range my OB thought was safe and that was a factor in how many kids I have.

My daughter was born 36w3d with no steroid shots and she was just fine. No need for breathing assistance and no NICU.

Good luck! I hope your induction goes smoothly for you.
