09-7-2009 - CONFUSED!!! Confused.My mood while writing this blog:
Confused.



I just had my sonogram to check the size of Caleb, and it turn out he is almost 5 lbs....TOTALLY AVERAGE! Also my fluid levels were normal, SO WHY HAVE I BEEN MEASURING 3 WEEKS AHEAD??? The sonogram tech didn't have any info to give me and I'm all sorts of confused now. I don't see the doc again for a week and a half so I guess I will have to wait to find out..

Also I mentioned in my last blog about me having ear issues, well today I have been having the same problems with being able to hear and I decided to take my BP. I took it 3 times, the first time it was 144/90, the second time it was 136/85 and the third time it was 137/81. I still cannot hear out of it, my pulse has been very high as well. Should I call the doctor??? Are those bp's too high??? UGH I'm so frustrated!!! Any feedback would be wonderful, thanks for reading!! xoxo.

oh and my pulse was always a bit higher too, my doc said thats normal during pregnancy especially in the last trimester because you have so much more blood and your heart is working harder to pump it. If it gets higher than 110bpm at rest talk to your doctor.

Hey! I measured three weeks ahead too with just a 7lb baby! I was told its because my pregnancys were so close together (18 months) that my uterus and stomach muscles did not get a chance to get toned again so basically my belly just flopped out and doesnt have the muscles to hold it in like a normal pregnancy.

I also had bp issues. My doctor was okay with readings like 136/85....as long as it was under 140/90 she didnt stress about it. Yours has gone above that cut off which is considered high blood pressure. Dont freak out, because its still not horribly high, mine got to 180/120, but you should talk to your doctor about it. She may want to give you some meds or talk about bed rest and delivering a bit early.

Your BP is just a little bit high but you took it 3 times and it kept going down. So maybe you are just stressed out is all! But if you are concerned, by all means give your doctor a call. LOL that's what they are there for!

Hi Jenna I was also ahead becuase of the size of baby, however My Dr told me now i too am on track. So he explained to me that befor about 32 weeks baby grows at an average of 300g per week, but after 32 weeks this slows down and the weight gain of baby is stable although alot - its not as much at 300g per week. I dont thinkg you need to worry My Dr has always told me the measurements they do are estimated and untill baby is born the true weight and meansurements all round will not be the same. So dont stress too much but do ask about it at your next visit. Hope that helped you som what. relax we almost there

I just think its due to the inaccuracy of measuring the fundal height. I would go with the scan results x x

My bp has been in the 130's/90's this entire time even with me taking blood pressure meds. The Doctors did get concerned when it went to like 155/103, but all I had to do was a 24 hr urine test and come back for further bp monitoring a couple days that week. As far as measuring ahead, maybe it just has something to do with your body type. I measure ahead, but only because I was a little larger to begin with. My doctor also said that height could have an effect on it as well. I would call your doctor if your bp hasn't been in that range during this pg. Just to be safe.

Well girlie I don't know why you are measuring so far ahead if your fluid levels are normal and baby is average size. I have been measuring about 1 1/2 wks ahead and I have "too much" fluid but only by one cm. As far as your blood pressure goes...I was put on bedrest for a month due to my bp and the highest mine got to was 150/90 and my dr was not having it. My pulse was also very fast (144bpm) and maybe thats why they freaked out but he said that 150/90 was too high. I would definitely call your dr. Good luck and I hope you feel better!

Hi. Just letting u know i read this blog. But i have no idea why u would be measuring ahead. . . if its by fundal height then thats not very accurate anyway, so try not to worry. And as for the ear / bp thing.... not a clue! Sorry. But sending my best wishes. xx
