2nd Trimester

remember when.....

After a crappy day a glass or 4 of wine made you feel better???

I want one SOOO bad!!! 

Just got back from the dr and my blood pressure is borderline high. It has always been really low, so I did a little research on it and now I'm really scared!! Not really sure what do about it at this point though.........any ideas??

Re: remember when.....

  • One word...Oberweis!
  • I would check it again whenever you go shopping and see one of those little machines by the pharmacy.  Don't freak out over just one high reading.  Stress or anxiety can cause that and it doesn't necessarily reflect an overall trend. 

    I always had high bp at the doctor's but low bp everywhere else.  Turned out I was just nervous at the doctor's!

  • Mmmmm.  Wine....  :)

    My BP was high last time I was in, usually it's really low.  I think I have a tendency to get anxious at the doctor's office which will spike my BP.  I was eating a lot of high sodium foods (pickles, ramen, etc.) in the 1st Tri. so I've been more cautious of sodium intake and exercising a lot more which has helped.  As long as it's not consistently high then you should be fine, just keep an eye on it.

    PS - I totally had an O'Douls last night because I just felt like I needed that beer taste.  It's wasn't too bad suprisingly.
