Pregnancy Woes

   As most of you know know I had a pretty rough pregnancy with Jax. I had seriously high blood pressure. It was 200/110 at my first appointment with him. I was only 22 at the time. The doctors immediately put me on blood pressure medication and I was seeing a high risk specialist. I was seeing one doctor or the other every single week throughout the entire pregnancy. My blood pressure stayed pretty high, on average about 140/90, even with medication. Jax was small, and has had lots of his own issues (but that's another story!)
   After I had him I was saw another specialist, an Internist, for a year. We tried several different medications, before finding something that kept the hbp under control. She said I was one of only two other people she had ever seen that she couldn't figure out the reason for the hbp. I was also the youngest. Her final conclusion was that it was just genetics. 
   Then I got pregnant with Kooper. I still had high blood pressure with him, but things were calmer this time around. I was seeing a different doctor, and he put me on different meds. (The meds the Internist had me on weren't safe for pregnancy.) This medication was even different from what the first doctors had me on. When I told him what it was, the first thing he said was "I'm going to put you on something different, that medication tends to cause low birth-weight babies." I couldn't believe my ears! A lot of the problems Jax had could have been prevented if they would have given me a different medication!!! (I am still mad about this, but that's a different story too!) This doctor also specializes in high risk pregnancies, so I wasn't having to see a different one. And I wasn't having to go every week like before. This pregnancy, aside from the hbp, was normal. Koop was much bigger than Jax, and has been much healthier too. 
   Now I am pregnant for a third time. I have not been on medication since I had Kooper, which has been 4 years. There have been times when I have wondered if I should still be taking something. But much to my surprise my blood pressure has been LOW. My first appointment it was 112/60 something. Today it was 110/82. It was never anywhere close to being that low even when I was taking medication. I am happy that it's not high, but I don't understand!!! I don't understand what's different now, than it was back then. I have no idea when it started being normal either. I still think it's high sometimes, but so far never at the doctor's office. 
   Each pregnancy has been so different, and these first 2 kids are pretty different from each other. I can't imagine how this new one will be any more different from the other ones!
