It seems like all of a sudden my body is rejecting me. I just wanted an easy pregnancy since my first was a bit of a rough one.
This pregnancy started out GRAND. I have had NO morning-sickness what so ever and found it shocking because I had a TON with DD1. In the 1st trimester I only gained 2 pounds and was feeling really good about myself.
2nd trimester hits and it all goes downhill. I had a big UTI followed by 5 yeast infections. The yeast infections just wont go away no matter what I do. Then I pulled my back out. My fundal height started measuring crazy big (5 weeks ahead) for no reason. At the end of the 2nd trimester I gained 22 pounds!
3rd Trimester hit and things started to settle down again. Then a couple weeks into it I realize baby V is still breech and acting like she has no want or desire to go head down. A couple days ago I went into the hospital for a non-stress test to make sure she was ok because I felt decreased fetal movements. She was fine but I had elevated blood pressure. they started running all the blood work and scaring me saying "If it comes back bad we are admitting you and possibly inducing you".
Luckily, it came back good and I was put on bedrest.
I go home and rest and check my blood pressure to discover it went down and feel relieved. Not an hour later I start experiencing excruciating cramps. They are not timeable so I have no idea what they are but they lasted all night and day until about an hour ago. My Dr. appt is in 2 hours so hopefully I can get some answers..
The increased blood pressure could have been because you were worried about the decreased movements, and bub's position, and then the threats by staff.
Can you get a massage or relax in a bath for an hour or so? Just take time out to nurture your body.
