Test Results...

So after having weeks and weeks of testing, testing everything from my heart to my brain, the results are in. The only things that they could find was 1. Low sodium (telling a pregnant women to eat more salt is crazy 10g more a day) 2. Low iron (they gave me prescription iron pills and they still make me super sick) 3. Scaring on my brain (cause unknown, but they think it was the seizure) 4. Super low blood pressure (like 90/50 after walking stairs). So with all of these results what can we do about it... nothing! That's right so, I am just praying to have a sweet healthy baby boy born and then I hope I will be fine again. I have been feeling better with the increase in iron and sodium but still I pass out on a weekly basis! But again the baby is fine! He is a trouper!

Hey, you should ask for liquid iron (it's easier on your system and hopefully won't make you as sick). Also take it with orange juice. Those two things helped a lot when I was pregnant with Kyle.

I'm sorry things are rough and I hope it gets better. I think of you often and I'm so grateful for the update.

ya I had to do the iron stuff too with Kayden becaue I was always passing out and stuff with him, his pregnancy was a super super hard one! I had more issues with him then I could count, but it was so worth it! I love little Kayden so much now! Super excited to hear you are doing good though! AND to make it even better your 30 weeks!!!! YEA!!! ten weeks to go that so exciting!!!
