Not sure what's happening - prayers please

[Samantha Puppy]

He didn't hear anything physically wrong with me – no murmurs,
"clicks" or anything else that would lead him to believe I am
suffering from an actual heart issue. He took some blood last night
to see if I'm deficient in anything and should have the results back
this afternoon. He didn't say anything about limiting what I do but I
am just flat-out exhausted so I'm staying home today anyway.

You are definately doing the right thing by " giving in" to the exhaustion and staying home today - your body is telling you that you need more rest and less stress!!!

Not sure what to suggest re the BP - at least the blood test will help to rule out any causes other than nervousness or stress. My next door neighbour HATES doctors, so whenever she goes to the Doc her BP is sky-high, but when we test it at home it is normal. Maybe you are just more apprehansive about the delivery and Nug's arrival than you realise?

My BP went sky high before I had Katie. Try to keep relaxed and concentrate on the day you meet little Nug for the first time. Will be checking in on you from time to time xxx

Thoughts and prayers are coming to you and Nug from Florida Jaime Try to stay calm and rested if possible. I know it's not easy.

Could be anxiety. My sisters heart use to race away and she would get light headed, get sick at the stomach and she would go to ER and by the time her turn would come up to see a doctor, she would have been feeling fine and went home. One time they took her right in and everything was out of wack. They could find no reason why all that was going on and I told her to tell her doctor I thought she was having anxiety attacks... That was when I was living with her and soon as I would leave to go to work on the boat, she would have one.. She never had one when I was at home. Our Mama was dying of cancer at the time and she was left alone to take care of her while I was gone. They put her on anti anxiety meds and she hasn't had them anymore.

Having had them myself, I know how weired they make you feel and at first, they scare you to death because you don't know what it happening to you. I also know the fear of giving birth and could see how that would cause anxiety if you already have a phobia with seeing doctors. Just try your best to relax (easy to say, huh?)

Glad to hear the doc didn't find anything serious. Staying home and staying calm is definitely the right thing right now. Since he didn't say to take anything for the BP, I would try to stay away from things that raise it, such as caffeine, sodium, etc. Relax, breathe deep, clear your mind and oooohhhmmmmm....oooohhhhmmmmm......oooohhhhmmmmm.. ....

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

If the doc didn't find anything unusual, try to relax as much as possible. Sleep and rest whenever your body tell you to!
Few more days, and little nug will be right there, in your arms
