i have high blood pressure. i've had high blood pressure most of my life, but have been on medication for it only for the last 5 years or so. after i finished panicking over the fact that i was pregnant (that word still shocks me), my next concern was over the BP situation. i was on a medication that can impair neural development in an embryo--not good. so now i am on a new one, some calcium channel blocker that they assure me is safe to take. i am monitoring my BP like a fiend, and this little wrist cuff is going everywhere i go. i've had a headache now for about a week, which is getting a little old, and i can't help wondering if it's related to the BP stuff. or maybe it's hormonal. pretty easy to blame everything on hormones right now. for example, the hippie is tired and blaming my hormones for it. hmmmm...
all of this said, so far it's not so bad. i feel vaguely nauseous, vaguely headache-ish, vaguely crampy, vaguely tired, and vaguely hungry pretty much all the time, but none of it's unbearable. so far, i think i am one of the lucky ones. (knock on some wood, people!) i just want to go to the doctor, and find out that everything's blissfully uneventfully NORMAL. that's all i need right now.
the sex is pretty great, by the way--these hormones aren't all bad! :)
