Well baby looks awesome!! Measuring completely average...so that is the good news.

Bad news...my bp is climbing a bit.....It was at 128/86 so I am going to try and relax more, drink more water and cut out all caffiene, and cut way back on sodium and hopefully that will help keep it down....

Glad that the babe looks good!! Take it easy and eat well to help your bp. For sodium restriction you may want to cut out processed foods that have added salt but still salt your homemade foods to taste - your body needs salt to maintain your blood volume at pg capacity (about 1/3 more blood than usual). Drinking tons, getting good protein and veggies, and I agree, cut out the caffiene!

Good luck with your BP. I have been trying really hard to keep mine in check. I just really need to learn to relax more. I get worked up realllllly easy LOL.

My blood pressure has been about 130/88 since about 21 weeks.
