How did pregnancy affect you?

I'm realy struggling with headaches and blood pressure atm.
Pre pregnancy 110/70 was my norm.

Now it fluctuates between 125/78 and 136/86.

Im finding I'm incredibly irritated by little things.

Crumbs left in the kitchen at work, someone leaving one sheet of toilet roll in the work toilets or using it and not using the toilet brush afterwards.

I struggle to concentrate on anything.

I have a few books here that I wanted to read and for the life of me I can read more than half a sentence before I switch off or want to sleep.

My appetite isn't really as big as I thought it would be.

I eat my 3 meals a day but I don't have large portions, I'm eating because I have to not because I want to.

I still have 4 more months to go.

I have been assessed for therapy and will be joining a mum and baby group soon.

I don't think I'm depressed but I'm not exactly feeling jolly.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I hope mom and baby are doing well. But like VOOdoo said, you should go and see the Drs. They will be the ones to discuss this with.

@Steph34 thank you x

I might be feeling especially down as I've been home 2 days with a migraine back pain and high BP.

@Mellowgirl I am so sorry to read that, please seek medical advice, that way you will be able to relax knowing that if anything is wrong, which I hope it isn't, they will take care of that.
