Had my appt w/ my pcp, or rather a dr at my primary care’s office since my dr is out of town til next week. I knew I should have waited to see my normal dr but oh well. So this dr said I could have a pinched nerve or something but that she wont order a scan or xray since I am pregnant. she said my only option is physical therapy, I knew I wouldnt go to that if that was the plan, mostly due to finances and then that would be more drs appt and it’s already going to be getting crazy w/ drs appt soon so for now I cant do much but be in pain.
My bp was up again, higher than on tuesday even.  She said just to follow up w/ the ob about that.  I was glad thats all she said about it since last time when I was preggo and went to the pcp and had high blood pressure they sent me right to my ob’s office. but I was a lot farther along then.   So I decided I’ll just wait to tell my ob on tuesday about todays bp reading instead of calling them and them saying to come in before then, which would mean tomorrow.   so because I’m now more stressed and miserable I’m spending my afternoon cleaning house.  i’ve been so behind in housework and we’re having guests tomorrow so I really at least need to make sure the bathrooms are a little cleaner. So now I’m feeling even worse, seeing spots, headache and my back is killing me. I dont know if this kid is going to be able to stay put til April 7th, my scheduled c section date.  I’ve never had bp problems this early and I’m feeling pretty crappy lately.  I know the words bed rest or at least take it easy are going to be said on tuesday and thats just not possible w/ a 13 month old. I barely was able to take a break during bo’s pregnancy. just 14 weeks til my scheduled c-section which compared to the 25 I’ve already done doesnt seem like much, but this is always the tough part, when my bp goes up, get crazy symptoms and of course the gest. diabetes should be waiting for me right around the next bend so really although it’s been smooth sailing so far I’m not looking forward to what’s next.  I guess if I can keep a good attitude it would help but this pain is killer.   If it was low back pain I’d worry I was in labor but since it’s right smack dab in my mid back and left rib who knows what I can do to make it go away, aside from PT which really isnt an option right now. Oh well…so once again a wasted appt and hearing the lovely words, we have to wait til the pregnancy is over to do tests. I’m really not looking forward to my post partum weeks since all my drs are waiting for that time to figure out what’s wrong with me.  hopefully this is just a pregnancy thing and goes away before then but if the dr doesnt know how am I supposed to know?? well I cant see straight, i think cleaning was a bad idea today but I figure I’d be in pain cleaning or not so at least I can be miserable in a clean house now!
Once the kids go bak to school i can come over and help some if you like 🙂 I’ll keep my eye on Bo so you an rest, or whatever you need.
