cornpop my blood pressure is low and I still get hot flashes. I'm also out of breath and dizzy a lot, like sitting down and reading to DS makes me short of breath sometimes. eta: my midwife said caffeine helps raise blood pressure. I don't drink coffee normally but may try green tea of chocolate for that purpose.

cornpop With me there is a correlation between BP and body temperature...I'm not sure if that's a thing or if it's just me...but I wouldn't be surprised if that's what's causing it. Last pregnancy every time a new doctor saw me they would start freaking out about my low BP and I had to explain to each of them that it was normal for me. ETA I still get hot flashes too but I am also dizzy quite often.

cornpop My temperature normally runs really cold (I also have very low blood pressure) so I'm always freezing. But now I go from cold to hot constantly. I remember getting really warm with DD too. This is 100% me. And I'll randomly get really warm, shaky, and dizzy too. Not sure if that's low blood sugar or what.

Having a popsicle has been helpful in getting rid of the shakes and dizzyness at times for me.

cornpop I was super cold with Ella. I'm a little cold this time but not as bad so far. I'm also crazy dizzy. Pretty much every time I stand up. I have a low resting heart rate and fairly low bp (though I doubt it will be low at my appointment because nerves) so I'm going to ask my dr Monday. It's awful when I have to get up quickly because Ella needs to go potty or something and the room is just spinning.

I keep falling asleep when snuggling with DD at her bedtime. So I basically get a 730-9pm nap that ruins my chances of being able to fall asleep at a reasonable hour. Wtaf.

Today was my H's birthday. Poor guy, it was a rough one. He had to work. I felt so awful so when he got home the house was still a mess and dinner was in process and both of our parents were already at the door. I owe him next year.
I really feel like an awful mom/wife lately.

My due date is the day after H's 30th birthday so there goes the surprise party at the new brewery that I was planning😬 I'm sure your H still had a nice birthday:)

So I'm craving gummy bears which feels really random because I've never liked sweets first tri before. I'm going for it though and bought a huge bag earlier. Rama your name is familiar, where you in O17? I peaced out pretty quickly so it may not have been you. I totally bought a huge bag of gummy bears the other day and they were gone so fast. They were delicious and perfect.

I have been trying to keep up here but I have been having phone reception problems and then the internet at our house went out. Apparently the next door neighbors who just moved in had their internet connected and somebody messed up and disconnected ours! For a while we were apparently sharing internet with someone and then they said we were disconnected completely. Oops. Thankfully it's back up and running and I can get online now. That was a frustrating week And a half.
I am trying to figure out how to work a 3-11 schedule and get adequate sleep when my body insists on waking up at 6am even when I have barely gotten any sleep. Its more difficult than I thought it would be. Yawn.

My urine screen at my last appointment came back positive for a UTI, specifically GBS, so now I'm taking antibiotics, and I'm automatically considered GBS+ positive (I was negative with previous pregnancy) for the rest of the pregnancy, which sucks because it will likely just contamination on my part.

shellyr, I was GBS+ last pregnancy. It was really NBD. I actually preferred being able to go straight to the hospital instead of laboring at home, but maybe that's just me? I have my first OB appointment in a bit. I'm oddly stressed about it considering I know they're not actually going to do anything. I wish my H could come with me.

cornpop My first one is on September 20th...which is super early. I think my GP thought it was going to take longer to get me an appointment but I don't want to cancel it now because this OB is the one who did my ECS with DD and I loved her. I think my SO drove her crazy with all his questions but I'm not bringing him to ANY appointments with me. I'm a little worried she's going to wonder why I'm there at like 12 weeks...
