Under Pressure (doo, doo, doo, do-do doo doo)

The procardia has been doing a great job of keeping my contractions at bay. However, it has also been lowering my already low blood pressure a bit too much. I've had a few symptoms here and there, but last night it started effecting me a little too much for comfort. While sitting at the table eating dinner, I had about 5 minutes where I was struggling to keep my head up... my eyes wouldn't open, it was like I my batteries had run out right there at the table. Today, I have a bad headache and I feel a little nauseaus... and very run down. I called to let the office know and Toni called back. She pulled me off the procardia because the pros don't outweigh the cons at this point.

So, I thought I was trucking along on a medication that was working... and that I might keep on keepin' on. Now, I'm wondering what on earth is going to happen. I could still keep on truckin' on, or I could have a baby next week. I'm about 30 minutes away from when I would take my next pill, so I'm just waiting to see if I'll erupt into contractions. I'm sure keeping weight off of my cervix is playing a big part, as well, so maybe I'll be surprised.
