XXVII:

SO my blood pressure has dropped considerably. Which explains all my dizzy spells and nausea and everything that I have been having. My BP, which is usually 120/58, was at 96/46. My OB saw no problem with this. I understand her logic, but she doesn't seem to understand my panic. I have a toddler. She's 20 mths old and likes to terrorize not only the house, but the dog. I have to constantly chase after her to make sure she doesn't kill herself, the dog, or me. My husband works nights and is asleep during all this commotion. I do not drive and walk everywhere. I CANNOT have my BP drop to God knows where and take the risk of passing out. True, I know that BP drops at the middle and goes back up again near the end...*ahem* I'm in my 8th month, when exactly is "the end"?

*sigh* It's just frustrating. I've done everything I can possibly do to not get dizzy. I eat small frequent meals to keep my sugar up. I drink water every half hour. I get up slowly, and if I lay die it's on my left side. I am cooped up in the house b/c the temp is in the 70s and not the 90s like it is outside. I still get dizzy, I still get sick and if I don't lay down IMMEDIATELY, I collapse. This is getting ridiculous.
