23w 6d/24w

so... update:

my blood pressure was 130/90 (aka high). the doctor took it 3 separate times and it was the same. now i need to monitor it daily. if it hits 150/100 (any number) its a trip to the doctors (as you can see the DIA numbers are close).

i had hypertension before when i was younger. it was diet controlled. lately i've been able to eat whatever i want but it never got high... until now.

i'm in a panic which is probably the worse thing i can do for myself right now. i've been telling everyone instead of internalizing it because i believe it will help with the stress i'm feeling. i'm reading up on everything. when you get high blood pressure before 30 weeks its not a good sign. i'm only at 24 weeks. i may get hospitalized if my blood pressure hits 160/110 before 34 weeks. jake may have to come early via C section...

so anyway i'm watching my salt intake closely. i promised my sister i'll take her out to lunch and dinner so today is the day i lower my salt intake. already i said no to processed cheese and sauce at in n out. i only ate half the fries. i've been drinking water. hopefully the slight rise in blood pressure controlled by diet is all i have to look forward to.
