Origins wrote on August 22nd, 2019, which I have my calendar pulled up, was a Thursday to September 5th of 2019, which is two weeks later. I gained eight pounds in two weeks. And according to the preeclampsia.org website, it says weight gain of more than three to five pounds in a week may be an indicator of preeclampsia. So already, I was having the weight gain, almost 10 pounds in two weeks.

I feel like someone should have sat down and said, hey, you've got weight gain. You've had some headaches. And your blood pressure... in office isn't that great. Maybe we should get something checked. No. What we did instead was, as the pregnancy progressed, it was send us what your blood pressure numbers are reading at home. At night, I would make sure that I was as relaxed as possible.

I would take my blood pressure and just pray it was a number that no one would get scared at. Most of the time, my blood pressure at home, it was 130s over 80s. And they were okay with that. And I was okay with it too, because I didn't want anything to be wrong. They tell me, you should really take some cayenne pills and you need to drink celery water.

I don't know if you've ever tasted celery water. It tastes like ass. But I was drinking that celery water like my life depended on it. My blood pressure at 34 weeks was creeping up. So it's 128 over 91. The top number wasn't horribly scary, but the bottom number is in the 90s. And then also at 34 weeks, they correlate the fundal height to the week pregnant.

So at 34 weeks, I was 34 centimeters at the fundal height. I come back in the next week at 35 weeks, I'm measuring 34 weeks. I said, is that okay? And she said, yeah, it can vary, you know, one or two. And I'm like, okay. I come in at 36 weeks. My blood pressure is 137 over 92. So it's going up even further. And I'm still measuring 34 centimeters in the fundal height two weeks later.

So that's showing you like there's been no uterine growth. If you're not going to do a sonogram, the next best thing you have is the fundal height. Sadie had not been growing in utero. I didn't know that was something to look for. So that's at 36 weeks. And then at 37 weeks, October 8th, I went in for an appointment. My blood pressure was 148 over 98 and my fundal height was 35 centimeters.

I was 37 weeks pregnant and she's measuring two weeks behind. Just to give context, I was 183 pounds. I'm 5'10 when I got pregnant. Now, Origins wrote that the last weight they recorded for me on the 8th of October is 240 pounds. I delivered my daughter on October 13th at 250 pounds. We can do the math real quick. I had a total weight gain of 67 pounds. I was just eating a normal diet.
