My pregnancy is a roller coaster. When I noticed that I had a delayed period, it didn’t bother me at all because sometimes I experienced delay because of my PCOS.

One day I was curious and tried a pregnancy test and found out that it is positive. I had mixed emotions but I was so happy that time.

I shared this to my husband and we decided to check it with my OB. At first, there was no sign of pregnancy seen on the first ultrasound so I was devastated at that time.

I decided to go back after 2 weeks which I was advised. When they saw my baby, I was happy and sad at the same time when they found out that I have a subchorionic bleeding that may cause miscarriage.

I had to be in a bed rest for my first trimester. After that my baby is in a good condition and no signs of any problems. All test are good and no issues not until I reached 31 weeks of pregnancy, it was just a normal prenatal check up when my BP was so high.

I didn’t have any record of having a high BP all throughout my pregnancy that’s why I don’t have any medications. My OB tried my best to lower it down for 7 days since I was confined.

My roller coaster pregnancy journey

My OB tried different ways to lower it down but it didn’t go down. Good thing my OB was able to give me a steroid for lungs a week before my scheduled delivery.

She decided to have me in a CS section since it’s been a week but my BP didn’t go down she thinks about me and my baby suffered from stress. My baby was just 32 weeks and had to stay in the hospital for 1 month and it was the lowest point of our life.

Right now my baby is in a good condition and she is healthy now. BTW she is in 4 months old now.
