Take care and talk to your doctor about diet and exercise during pregnancy. Stay away from high salt/ fat foods. Your ideal weight gain should be below 20 lb for this pregnancy if you are overweight to begin with. Swimming in a pool is an awesome form of pregnancy exercise.

I will for sure keep you posted, I have technically only had 2 prenatal appointments but had spotting and cramping on other occasions which is why I have been seen 4 times. This will be my first appointment with ob on Thursday I'm excited to see him again. I hope they can keep your blood pressure down for you and you have a good pregnancy.

Wilkinrebecca - 326 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I am also 38, 17.3 weeks pregnant and have seen doc 4 times, every visit has been high blood pressure. I am also overweight. My doctor told me not to do too much right now and I am at risk of partial if not full bed rest, I have 4 kids already one that is 5 I can't imagine being on bed rest but will have to do what is best for baby and myself. I will be seeing my ob Thursday and see what he says. Hope my blood pressure has gone down but let's face it my life is far from stress free. Good luck to you
