Postpartum hypertension

Hey fellow mammas.... was wondering if anyone else has been through postpartum hypertension?
I’m in the 6th week postpartum and I was diagnosed with elevated bp 2weeks post my delivery. My C section was also a result of elevated BP on the day of my delivery. Fortunately I never had preeclampsia but this is more so only gestational hypertension.
I’m on meds just in morning to keep my bp in check and hoping this is something that should go away. But wanted to connect with other mammas to see if anyone had other insights that can be helpful :)

The same thing happened to me during my labor my bp was so high and it remained high for maybe 4-6 weeks postpartum someone would call me every morning and night to record mr bp but my lo is 5 months now and haven’t had any issues with it
And for my second child (no where in the works) I’ll talk to my doctor to see if there’s anything I can do to improve this or hopefully avoid

Hey💕
I haven’t personally dealt with this, but just wanted to reach out and let you know I’ll be thinking of you! Thank goodness they were able to get you on some medication to help. And definitely hope it’s something that goes away soon✨

Happy 3 months to my baby girl

Burnout

I have the odd day (like today) where I feel completely wiped out, without energy, physical especially, even if I had we good night sleep. I try entertaining baby as much as I normally do but it's a lot! Don't know if it's burnout or what.. will mention to gp in case I have some deficiency but again it's not everyday. Baby is only 4 months, am I too old?? And we'd like another at some point 🙈 don't know how mums of multiples do it

Reduced movements

Baby hadn’t moved for about 2 hours (that I can be sure of) but has now got hiccups and moving slightly again. Should I still go to triage or is that enough for things to be ok?

36 weeks and baby is breech

Got another scan booked for Wednesday but if baby doesn't turn I have 3 options ... What would you go for?

I'm really torn on what to do :(/

Growth scan

Just had a growth scan 35 + 2 and they said baby is weighing 3.5lbs, I had a growth scan at 28 weeks and he was 3lbs then. I’m back for a scan in 2 weeks but they said if he drops again they will look to induce me at 37-38 weeks now I’m scared!

Braxton hicks

Where do you feel these in your belly ? Top or bottom?

How regular do you feel them?
