I hope everyone is having a very merry Christmas.
As for me, I’m pretty exhausted. Dr. MFM’s orders were to rest as much as possible but it’s been difficult with the IL’s visiting from LA meaning lots of running around the city and I haven’t been sleeping enough. Having to do the 24hr urine collection on Sunday night didn’t help since I had to go downstairs to dump my “collection” into the refrigerated pee jug every. single. time. I went to the bathroom. In case anyone was unaware, being 32 weeks pregnant pretty much means you have to go something like every six minutes or so.
The blood pressure medication is working, my blood pressures have gone back down to 120/85 or so, except when I’ve been out and about for too long in which case it creeps back up into the 130/90 range. But I’ve been feeling irritated, wiped out, mild headaches, and just overall blech which a bit of googling tells me could all be side effects from the meds. Or maybe I’m just pregnant. I really don’t know at this point but I do tend to think it’s side effects because I haven’t felt exactly like this up until now.
I don’t really want to be taking these meds. I feel like if they’re making ME feel this way, what are they doing to poor little Cheeks who is effectively taking the same meds as me? I’m supposed to call Dr. MFM tomorrow morning and I think I’m going to ask him about whether or not I can stop working next week after the New Year. Not sure how you bring that up but I guess I have til tomorrow to think about it.
