You know you have swelling-excess fluid when...

You lost 36 (yes THIRTY SIX) pounds in 6 (SIX) DAYS!

Went to OB yesterday for BP check and scale dropped significantly! I had noticed return of some prepregnancy 'shape' but had wanted to stay off the scale x 2 weeks or so.

Much to my surprise I am only 11 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight.

BP still high 160/100 today no change in meds still on Labetalol 200mg 2x day (it is a betablocker) they say may take 2 wk to be effective.

Jazmine had her first pediatric apt yesterday, she is well wants to see her Friday for quick check that her bilirubin is still falling. He said she was beautiful, healthy w/o concerns and a seemingly happy and easy going baby. Gained a few ounces so breast feeding is working! Gene & I really liked doctor who spent 45 min with us talked and explained and offered support on breast feeding, sleep routine etc. He is easy going fairly young but in practice 8 year or so. Sat down faced us asked questions and great bedside manner with our girl, shook our hands at start and end and made us very at ease, cautious with Jazmine enough to see her Fri to make sure all is ok due to her early arrival and all vs waiting typical 2 weeks.


Well I have labs, ultra sound and OB apt tomorrow @ 2pm to see how placenta accreta left inside looks.
