I had a great appointment on Thursday. My blood pressure was nice and low: 100/62! My midwife gave me some ideas on nutrition to keep my blood pressure in check. She made it sound like my care would be much different if my blood pressure does go up. So far, I'm still a candidate for a VBAC if all goes well. I'll find out for sure when I meet with the OB in the practice around 24-28 weeks. I met my midwife for the first time, and she is amazing. It was such a change from my last doctor. We had a nice conversation about everything, and she actually treated me like a person.

Did she recommend the Brewer Diet? My friend who had the amazing HBAC (the one I sent you) followed it and had great success with it :)
ReplyDeleteShe didn't specifically recommend it, but her recommendations were close. I've been looking into the Brewer Diet too. Great HBAC story, by the way!
