Thanks again, everyone. I’m home! No blood clots, just low blood pressure acting up again. They said I’m going to be prone to dizziness and to really start taking it easy. Walk slower and just be more mindful of my movements. They didn’t say so... but I’m beginning to worry that I may not be able to continue in my current job much longer (on my feet all day). However, baby is fine and I’m also fine for now. I’m also at risk of clots but again, nothing seriously wrong at the moment. Currently curled up in bed with a McFlurry! 

I had low bp with my first pregnancy and I just literally had to lay down where ever it got
bad and wait for 10-20 minutes and then I could be up and about again. Hopefully no clots come your way. I hear eggplant is good for reducing clot risk.

Oh no @lilpotatomama how scary! I’m glad everything turned out to be okay for you and the babe. Can they do anything to help with the risk of clots?

@lilpotatomama What a relief! So glad all is ok with you.

Take it easy @lilpotatomama! Glad to hear it's not anything too serious.

@thatbaintforbetty they told me to wear compression socks pretty much 24/7 to keep blood flowing. That’s about it!

So glad you got sent home and had ice cream! Hope things will be easier for you going forward. And if you have to wear socks all the time, at least it's winter. Otherwise you'd be really rocking that maternity style, lol.
