Uhh, due date was changed from May 7 to May 4 (Still Cinco de Mayo, lol) because the baby measured x number of days over my AF date every time! Will be REALLY weird if I have another april baby, especially if it's EARLY APRIL! Hubby hopes not! 2 April, Aries, Tigers would be a LITTLE much! (Considering that it would be the first & last child it IS kinda funny, lol) Considering the holiday thing & my babies, When's Easter this year? Sorry gotta ask, lol!
ok, OB was NOT happy with the visit & she WANTS me to call the NEXT TIME they show up! She was in fact LIVID when she saw my BP & weight LOSS (wow an ob that doesn't want me to lose weight?) & asked about the episodes of sickness after the visit! Since I'm not actually losing food my weight should NOT be going down! (I have a HARD time losing weight even when trying & lost almost 3 kg, which is almost 7 lbs while staying HOME, hmm)
BP went down a little but was still higher then she wanted it! Told her about talking to you ladies (no in detail of course, just mentioned how hard it is to talk to other american women in general & that I found some who did stuff more like German) ANYWAYS she agreed about the fluids thing. If my eyesight gets bad but get better the day after I drink TONS then yeah it's probably dehydration she's seeing! She (like the german women's hospital) wants me to take my bp at HOME to make sure that traveling is not bringing it up. (wow wrong country, lol) I told her my highest bp EVER from my last preeclampsia episode & she was in SHOCK! (uh yeah we went to the E.R.) Also mentioned the "other" weird things that happened as well! sooo....
She wants more fluids, duh, she doesn't care really WHAT (I was drinking the "bad" water again in front of her but I KNEW I needed something THEN) since I seem to know & have general rules to follow that she agrees with (thank you ladies) and on days when my eyes are bothering me I am to try to drink even MORE! (have my boys helping with that, lol) Salt in soy milk isn't a problem then, it's the RUNNY part of the stuff she's most interested in! My toddler is nursing less so that's helping some as well (I think we are officially at 2 times a day) she has nothing to say about that. (again, wrong country, lol)
OB was NOT happy I was being bothered. (sending 2 MEN to talk to a woman by herself, outrageous, lol) She told me stories of OTHER moms (including another American lady) that's she's had over the years. Her specific complaint was that their visits raise my BP which she is trying to avoid. She wants to see me in ANOTHER 2 weeks both to watch my BP (She hasn't decided yet if it's stress, pregnancy, or just a new normal since the last baby) so if it JUST stays my bp then everything should be ok. She ALSO wants to see the children as well! (because you know, someone "official" should & her staff likes them) Of course she sees hs-ing as a MAJOR source of stress but that's a given since we are where, lol! I like that I can relax when I need to without worrying about the outside world too much!
Baby is doing well. Children are relaxing again. Life is trying to find normal again. If hubby stays out of the hospital & doesn't fall down the stairs again things should be ok in the long run! (god last pregnancy was horrible with his kidney stones) Everyone is looking forward to our furry new family member coming in 3 weeks! (yes even the big grouchy guy) CAT may have something to say about it, lol, but I've done this before, lol! ok I'm just rambling now, I should let you all go! -s
