Prematurity

Under pressure

Had my BP follow up appointment at Duke Perinatal today.  Even with 30mg of Procardia XL my BP was still 150/96.  Boo.  So we’ve upped it to 60mg.  And yet again I’ve been told to contact them if I start having headaches or changes in vision.

Which is always a fun catch 22, since the procardia tends to give me headaches, at least for the first few days after we change dosage.
