I've been worried sick all day about my swelling. Back of my mind says preeclampsia My last doc visit they said my blood pressure was high and I was only like 18 weeks. I'm 21 now. I'm going to check it at Kroger tonight. If its high should I go to the hospital or just wait it out till my next doc visit? (28th)

I'm going to tell you my experience. I had high blood pressure at the end of my first pregnancy. I wasn't treated with medication because was mild. Everything went well with my baby, I had an induction and C-section, but baby was perfect. Don't worry too much and get too stressed about it. A good mental state is a good choice.

Tell your doc about your concerns. They recommended me drink more water and less salt, rest. Some light exercise or activity for pregnancy. Take your prenatals vitamins. Probably next appointment they going to tell you what to do, test your urine and be treated if you need it.

Rest, lying on your left side to take the weight of the baby off your major blood vessels.

Increase prenatal checkups.

Consume less salt

Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day

Change your diet to include more protein

What I did to lower swollen feet was

*Avoid standing for long periods.

*Rest with your feet elevated

*Comfortable shoes.

No doubt if it's high, go right in. Im at high risk for preeclampsia and I borrowed my mom's BP monitor so I can check in between ob visits. I'm always checking.

Well high blood pressure and swelling is dangerous even not pregnant so I would go in.

Birth Plan Rant I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
