I have been trying to avoid stress...

in Success after IF
But it is hard to do that. My day care called and cause me unnecessary annoyance/stress. They did it yesterday, too. After the call today, I got a headache so I took my bp. I took it twice. It was 152 over 86. I am only 10 weeks pregnant and already my bp is going up! My non pregnant bp is normal...not even borderline. Like 100 to 110 over 70 to 75. Last time I developed severe pre-e and LO had iugr. I am not even 10 weeks!!!! Last ttime it did not go up until mid second tri!!!! I don't want this to happen again. Argh! I don't want to end up on hospital bed rest again.

I called dh and he told me to lie down.

    Is it possible for DC to use YH as their primary contact, then he can call you if it's something that needs to be addressed?

    Ugh that sucks, IBB. What relaxation techniques have you tried? It really might be worth getting out is the box and trying new things to see if you can find something that works, for the pregnancy's sake as well as yours. Yoga? Guided meditation? Hypno tracks? Journaling? Breathing techniques? Hang in there!

    Well hopefully it settles but maybe let your OB know. If they treat it early maybe it won't cause you or LO much problem this pregnancy? Hugs

    The daycare is just today's problem. I am really more worried about my bp. It was borderline high at my first ob appointment where they were annoying me, too. Idk, maybe i need to be on bp meds. Do they put you on meds if sometimes your bp is ok and sometimes it spikes?

    I got no anwers. I have been 100 over 86 for my past couple appointments. All  I can say is try to relax as much as possible and let you husband handle it. Whatever he can take off of you let him deal with. That alone (chronic hypertension) as my docs explained to me last friday can cause placenta abruptions. So trrrrrrrrrry to keep your calm.

    Married: 5/09 ~ TTC Since: 10/10 ~ PCOS ~ Progesterone from 10/10 - 2/11 ~ HSG on 3/18 - Clear ~ Started Metformin 1000mg & Clomid 50mg 2/11 ~ Metformin upped to 1500mg 4/6 ~ 6/7 Now going to SG and put on Clomid, Ovidrel, Gonal F, Prometrium, Estrace ~ IUI #1 7/2 = BFP!!!!!! March 6th our little man was born. 

    6/17/13 - Ovidrel, Follistim, Prometrium ~ IUI #1 7/2 = BFP! March 17th our St. Pattys day baby arrived

    10/29/17 - Started process for IVF, got pregnant & miscarried a 2nd time since summer. 2/22 started stims - Menopur, Gonal F, Cetrotide - retrieval 3/6 - , PIO, estrace 3xday - FET 4/18 = Beta 1: 616; Beta 2: 1342 = BFP

    I really think what you need most right now is some relaxation techniques. Have you ever heard of the mind/body technique? I went to a seminar when we were dealing with IF. It is basically a method to help you relax. It really helped me. GL hon.

    Thanks. I will look into relaxation. I tried calling the ob and got put on hold for indefinitely which just made my bp go up even more. Eventually I had to hang up.

    I don't think stress can be avoided in anyone's life. The key is to manage stress and not allow it to eat you alive. I second PPs suggestions of finding a relaxation / meditation technique that works for you. What helps me is closing my eyes in a dark quiet room for 10-15 minutes and covering my eyes with either cucumbers or tea bags. GL finding a technique you are comfortable with.

    Yikes. I hope you ended up getting ahold of your OBs office and can figure out a way not to let stress raise your bp!

    Trying not to stress is so stressful. I get it. I always get more worked up especially when it comes to health. Hope some relaxation helps.

    Ob told me to just call back if it got to 160 over 100. Otherwise we would talk about it at my next appointment...in 3 weeks. Smh.

    And I agree that trying not to stress stresses me out more. The only thing I am going to do is ask my daycare to start calling my dh. They have called me 3 times in 3 days (one of which I had to leave a deposition in a multi million dollar case to take the call) over nothing of any importance. It is really annoying and I am going to say something to them. One time was because ds had diaper rash and the other time was because they said I had dropped him off without bottles but when I insisted that was wrong they suddenly found the bottles. Like you could not look before you called me and disrupted me at work?
