Blog to Another Baby

Same song, second verse. My second pregnancy resulted in a boy. I still need somewhere to write, and this blog is for thoughts, feelings, and observations regarding DS2.

Blood pressure

My ob checkup went well Friday, except that my blood pressure is still climbing. If it keeps climbing I will probably need to start in medication, which means I will need to wean DS because none of the hypertension medicines are considered safe for nursing. I want to do some checking on medicines, find out the risks and dangers of hypertension in pregnancy when it is chronice not pregnancy-induced, and see if there is anything I can do to keep it down. I really don't want to have to stop nursing DS, for emotional reasons for both of us. The nutrition is not a problem, he takes formula and J's milk now, and he is eating all kinds of foods, plus he is almost a year old and will be able to start whole cow's milk soon. But the night nursing and comfort nursing will be very hard to give up. I will need to be convinced that it is the best decision for all of us before doing it.
