Re: When the baby is LATE...grr
My bp was normal in both of my pregnancies. Infact on teh lower side in teh first one. Why it was normal? Well, it just was. I did eat bananas and cucumber and walked, things that are suppsoed to lower bp. Sometimes people do get hypertension of pregnancy (high bp) which is not essentialy related to eating outside. Though of course if you have high bp or develop it during pregnancy you should not take excess salt (outside food has a lot of excess sodium/ salt) and modify your diet. Don't blame yourself if you had high bp and did all teh right things.
As for my diet. i was terribly sick during both pregnancies, so faitigued during teh second one that if I got up to make the bed I fainted. I did eat a lot of outside food in the second pregnnacy as I could not tolerate any home made food, not even if someone was heating it for themselves, I would just go to the bathroom and be sick by the smell of it, even if i were on the top floor and closed all teh doors. The smell still wafted through!! Didn't eat KFC or pizza hut as I am in teh USA and teh issue of halal food was there with KFC, ate the fish sandwich from Mac donald's though. hated cheese during pregnaacy so no pizza at that time. I hardly ate anything in my sceond pregnancy. I did get borderlne gestational diabetis in both pregnancies though.
