Thoughts: When the nurse took my BP today she said it was 125/80 and that was great. I got a little concerned though because every other time it's been 120/80. I know that's not much of a difference but I've heard about ladies getting preeclampsia and that it starts with high blood pressure. Note to self: watch sodium intake!
Some questions we had for Velma:
Q: Are peanut butter, honey, hot dogs, bacon ok to eat? I'd read that preggo women shouldn't have these at all.
A: Everything is ok... in moderation, of course.
Q: I sneeze a lot and I seem to want to stretch a lot, is that normal?
A: Not sure if it's normal or not... but certainly nothing to worry about.
Q: Best pain med?
A: Tylenol
Q: What can I do for slight swelling of my hands (in the morning) and my feet (at night)?
A: Limit salt, drink water with lemon, elevate feet, and cold showers.
Oh yeah, the estimated size of baby today is 6" long (about the size of a large heirloom tomato).
