Comment on I'm worried about my blood pressure… ? by sssfeme2liv4

They could potentially be Braxton Hicks contractions, that is what your body does in preparation for eventual labor. This Blood Pressure measurement is slightly elevated, but it could have been elevated for a number of reasons. If you were rushing to get there, if you ate, smoked, or drank any fluids within 30 minutes of getting there, if the blood pressure cuff was not the right size, or if it was to tight, all of these factors could potentially raise your Blood Pressure reading. Most likely the physician will do 3 serial readings, very close together, either within a few hours, days, or appts to see if they are all elevated, this would be an adequate way to diagnose it. If you just take one reading, and the doc tells you you have high Blood pressure, this may not be the case, unless they check it as I have stated above. The Best thing you can do is practice taking breaks, lots of deep breathing and relaxation, try not to be around stressful triggers that upset you, get plenty of fluids, sleep and adequate dietary intake based on what your doc has recommended for you, If they haven’t made you aware, ask them. Elevated Blood pressure, especially if it continues puts you at risk of an early labor, robs you and the baby of needed blood flow, so it must be managed and monitored if it is diagnosed by the serial readings….try not to drink or eat 30 minutes prior to your appt, and try to make sure you are rested, and not running around trying to get to your appts, this will give you a more accurate reading….

Comment on Severe swelling of legs and feet after giving birth? by Mags

Call your doctor immediately or head off to the ER or an Urgent Care center. You need to be treated now before this gets worse.

Postpartum toxemia or pre-eclampsia is a combination problem and you need to first have your blood pressure checked.

Pre-eclampsia is associated with increased proteins in the blood. I am surprised that your doctor did not insist upon a follow-up exam after the birth to ensure that the swelling you experienced had subsided.

Theoretically the most dangerous time is in the 24-48 hour period following the birth. You should have been advised. Inducing the baby was step one in addressing the issue. Now it is time to address your health. Pre-eclampsia can develop into eclampsia.

There are lots of nutritional supplements which you will see recommended but the jury is out on their effectiveness. You need medical help ASAP.

Well Toxemia is a state of severe infection or exposure to a toxic agent that causes the body to shut down. I have a feeling that you may be misspelling the word that you are looking for. There is an infection called toxoplasmosis that pregnant when are prone to (its a parasitic infection that can be contracted by removing cat liter). "Ketones" are a by product of the body breaking down sugar. You can see it when someone has not eaten for a while in the urine. You can also see it in diabetics because they are not actually utilizing the sugar that’s in their bloodstream si their body is in essence starving and we see that manifested as ketones in the urine.

Comment on health help, would somebody help? by blackskittles8238

Someone already answered… but seriously those are practically common knowledge. That first one. Do you really think that it is a miscarriage or a genetic disease. Obviously it has to be toxemia.

Comment on i am suffering from influenza…what i shoulf avoid of.. i read that i have not to drink milk.? by Techwing

Not sure where you got that answer, but it sounds like nonsense.

There’s no cure for the flu. The best thing to do is get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids, take medication to ease the symptoms if necessary, and eat occasional light meals if you can. It takes a week or two to get over the flu, sometimes longer. There can be leftover symptoms like a cough or fatigue for weeks. It has nothing to do with "toxemia," "cleansing," or anything like that.

Comment on what is toxemia, what are the symptoms? by jen

Toxemia occurs usually in the later stages of pregnancy. It is caused by a steady rise in blood pressure. Most Ob/Gyns, will keep a watchful eye on it. If the woman is in distress in the last month, some Doctors would opt to do a cesarean asap. It can be fatal.
