NPR sorta...

I had my follow up neurologist appt today...

1. He thought LO was 3 weeks old and his jaw dropped when I said she was a 34 weeker and is 2 months old.

2. He and I swapped stories since he and his wife had a 35 weeker.

3. My blood pressure and my headaches are a lot better, but I still have to monitor bp 1x a day and go bimonthly to have my primary monitor it. I also have to continue keeping a headache journal.

4. It seems ironic to me that my neurologist cares more about my elevated blood pressure when I was pregnant than my OB did. So now I'm starting to look for a new OB. While pregnant a low bp for me was 140s over mid 90s, and several times in the OBs office it was much higher than that. (My highest was 170/107). I love this doctor. If anyone in NJ needs a neurologist, pm me!

Glad you are doing better! Good luck finding a new OB. That is important, especially to preemie moms who want to get PG again! I am lucky that my OB was very serious and never took things lightly.

Glad this is working out for you, I would have some red flags with your OB too!

I'm glad you had a good appt!

My OB was very concerned about my BP, so I had no complaints there, But I did also end up seeing a neurologist afterward (head numbness, then they said I had a brain growth, long story) and she was also very concerned about the effects the BP had on my brain. She took it a lot more seriously than I expected.
