Introing....but have been lurking....Long

Hi Ladies-

I guess I should introduce myself now since I have been lurking for about 4 weeks. I am currently 14 weeks pregnant with my first and will be last pregnancy because I am having triplets. I am 40 years old and will be delivering most likely between 30 and 31 weeks(beginning of July. My technical due date is 9/11. I am high risk for a number of reasons but I am already starting to have issues. I was previously hypertensive before I  got pregnant but it was very well controlled, only 1 pill, once a day. I was also considered "insulin resistant". I used to be Type 2 but lost almost 60lbs and it went away.My A1C was always 5 or below but whenever I did a glucose test my numbers would be very high. They would not classify as Type 2 anymore because of the low A1C so they said I was just insulin resistant now.

My MFM doctors have changed my BP meds because it was not condusive to baby development. I started taking 1 pill, 2xs a day and intially my BP shot right up and I gained 5lbs in water in 1 week. Apparently this med is not as strong as my reg BP med. They upped it to 3xs a day now. In 1 week I only gained 1.5 lbs and my BP dropped a good amount. My diastolic now ranges from 74-85 but I can't seem to get my systolic down consistently. It bounces up and down from 117- 145. Its very frustrating.

Also got a call from MFM this morning, my fasting #'s are on the higher side(nothing higher than 129 and I know the cause of the 129 #) so they want to start me on meds next week. I am hoping I won't start on insulin right away.

I am feeling very discouraged now.  I knew full well I was going to have problems with my BP and would most like become GD. I just didn't think it would happen so soon at 14 weeks. Out of curiousity, did any of you ladies start having issues early on in your pregnancy and if so, how early did they start? How are things going now?

I look forward to getting to know everyone on High-Risk and I do hope everyone stays healthy and happy.

Thank you!!!!
