Okay I know that I have not been feeling well and don't have an appetite, but I have been making myself eat everyday, I went to the doctor this morning for a check and I had lost 3 pounds since last Thursday!!  I have been gaining so much weight in this pregnancy that it was just so weird!  Other than the weight loss (which the dr didn't seem too concerned about) my blood pressure was back to normal, so he wants me to start coming in every week so that he can keep an eye on it being it seems to fluctuate so much (my lower number was 90 on Thursday and 66 today)  Everything else looks good, now we are just trying to get the house in order so we can decorate for Christmas, I am so excited to do that!!!!!!

Sometimes if they don't let you rest when you come in for a blood pressure reading it makes it higher. I seriously would take mine and it would be high and ten minutes later it would be low again. I did end up having toxemia at the end of my pregnancy though. If the dr wasn't concerned with your weight loss then thats great! I wish that would have happened to me when I was pregnant.

Nov. 20, 2007 at 9:03 PM i specifically asked them to do my blood pressure midway through the appt for that very reason.  i had to climb a flight of stairs to get to the OB ward (the elevator was reserved for wheelchairs ONLY) and it was common for every one of us to have a higher reading after that five minutes of stairs!  i'd ask for a later reading, if i were you.
