Hi Tink!

I am so jealous. Every man and their dog seems to be seeing Take That. I have sold my ticket as I didn't fancy standing for hours, but still feeling torn! Glad you had a good time.

Fitzo - I have to say it was amazing, we were really lucky as we had seats although I stood and danced for most of it

Tia - Glad to hear you're home, take it easy, pop your feet up and make sure everyone spoils you rotten

glad you have made it home tia!!

so plenty of rest and lots of tablets.

lobitalol is one of the strongest they can give when you are pregnant. the consultant i saw said that is the last one they will try. and then i would be in hospital if that didnt keep my bp down.
when do you next have to have a check up?

Up on Wednesday for a scan and day care. Only on 100mg 3 times a day for now, BUT, I was on them in both my last pregnancies and they didn't do anything except the lovely side effects. I forgot to add shaking to that list.

I got home about an hour ago! :j:j:j with a LOAD of pills!

Medics looked me over and they don't know why I have the headaches either. If I wasn't pregnant I would have been sent for a CT scan but as it is, there is a few reasons to send me for one but not enough to risk a CT scan during pregnancy (as yet). My left arm and hand has areas of sensory changes (don't feel pressure like I do on the right) and I have a patch of blurred vision on the left eye, but not changes to the eye itself. The medication they would give me can't be used in pregnancy either.

So, been sent home with co-codomol (not that it helps) and lobitalol to lower my BP a little (in the heope it may help) and because it dialates the capillaries in the brain (in the hope that that helps). Along with my antibiotics for my UTI and more asprin.

Lil ladies heart rate was a bit high during her active moments but it goes back down in her quiet moments, this will be kept an eye on, but as yet nothing to worry about. She did get mega hicups on the ECG!!! My belly was jumping like mad and the nurses heard it at their station!

The lobitalol is making my skin tingle, light headedness and generally feel bla. Headache is there on and off as is the visual party. Plus I've got bad heartburn from hospital food and pulled a muscle in that area from coughing so feeling a bit fed up :cool:

I am also taking labetalol for bp and the skin tingling thing is strange but good at the same time , it has kept my bp down
