My BP was 140/90. <br /><br />The Dr, is putting me on BP meds, and I have to go back in 2 days to figure out my dosage. I had PIH with Travis, so this isn't much of a surprise. I think it started mid-way through with him, so in a way, it's good to get it controlled early.<br /><br /><br />I am only 5 weeks, 4 days along by LMP, and it's so early, we were only able to see the sac. No embryo yet.... crossing fingers. Sigh. Next u/s is scheduled in a few weeks. 9/11. Wow. By then, I should be almost 9 1/2 weeks along.... and we SHOULD be able to see the heart/baby/everything. Crossing all crossables.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5931387701518907587-8804714689958453730?l=hopeglimmers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christinenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931387701518907587.post-65258607150576231922007-08-03T17:08:00.000-07:002007-08-03T17:18:05.033-07:00Today is Cycle Day 28.... meaning, that I am hoping against hopes that my period doesn't mysteriously show up. Stupid, maybe. But, although I am hopeful, I am not at all at ease with the idea of being pregnant. Scared? Yes. Concerned? Absolutely.<br /><br />With every cramp, twinge, pain - I lose faith that this will be "the one". Yes, I am paranoid. I want to protect my heart from being shattered again. I am already attached, as much as I know I should not be. When is the "safe point"? 12 weeks? 1/2 way? After we come home from the hospital?<br /><br />Loss can happen at any of these times, even afterwards, it's enough to make you crazy. When did I feel we were going home with a baby with Travis? I think the day I was induced. I felt the that there was no way I was leaving without him that day.<br /><br />I am SO getting a doppler again. At least I will have an idea, like last time, and HOPEFULLY won't be so freaked out. I mean, I had a baby after a miscarriage, just like millions of women do.... most likely everything will be fine. Or, is that naive? <br /><br />I don't want to be attached yet, just in case. But I don't want to be so cynical that I can't enjoy this time at all. Sigh.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5931387701518907587-6525860715057623192?l=hopeglimmers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christinenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5931387701518907587.post-42893215611064572452007-08-02T15:28:00.000-07:002007-08-02T15:30:23.304-07:00Monday, I tested, and I am pregnant again!
