Blood pressure

Yesterday I had my 16 week appointment and got referred MFM because my blood pressure was 148/76 at the beginning and then 137/72 towards the end but I had been crying. When I’m at home, have a doctors visit unrelated to pregnancy, or using the pharmacy BP cuff my blood pressure is always normal. This whole last week my top number never went over 118 and my button number is always fine. My doctor wanted to put me on blood pressure medication but I declined because I truly don’t believe I have high blood pressure and that I’m just having anxiety at appointments. I went to Meijer after my appointment I checked my BP it’s was 122/76. I bought another BP cuff to compare to my other. Also blood work and urine is fine and no headaches or vision changes

How is everyone feeling?

Hey, how is everyone feeling? Ive been feeling fine all through until now. Im absolutley hating the experience now, im so uncomfortable, pressure is insane, lightening crotch is killing me, and I feel like im counting down the days.

I cannot wait to feel the relief of having my baby in my arms and no longer in my body!

Is anyone else at this stage where theyre feeling completely done and just want it to be over? :(

Gender test

Bought one of these for fun 🤭 we don’t find out until August and I know it’s not scientifically proven to be correct but just for fun! Anyone else done one?

Asprin while pregnant

Has anyone else been prescribed 150mg of asprin during pregnancy? Im currently 13+5 have a long history of losses so far everything's looking perfect, but yesterday at my dating scan I was prescribed asprin because of my babies being born small? Im also on progesterone that I take twice a day. Apparently the asprin helps blood flow to the placenta and can possibly help prevent small babies.. but im terrified of taking it! I know alot of people have had it before when prescribed, but im so scared that taking it is going to cause a loss after seeing our baby thriving so much. What do I do? Is it safe, anyone had any experiences?
