I now know what it feels like to be blind...

So yesterday, I took Shalyn, Niki, and Damein to the marigold festival to ride a few rides. Not long after I got them back home, I started getting a headache. I had Melissa take me home. As the rest of the day went on, the headache got worse. I laid down for awhile thinking it would go away, but woke up and it was even worse. It got so bad it made me sick. I watched a movie with April and then went to bed, woke up this morning, and I still had it. I didnt go to church because of it being so bad. I called my mom telling her about it all . Then me and April decided we wanted to go to the Art in the Park part of the festival, we walked around and stuff. we made one last stop and a soy candle stand so April could get a few. After she paid, We was getting ready to walk away and I just got light headed and leaned over on her. Then I was like "April, I cant see." I literally couldnt see. I like totally blacked out. I was holding onto the stroller, and we walked over to the shade trying to get to some picnic tables to sit down. I wasnt liking the fact I couldnt see anything. I just wanted to sit, so I just sat on the ground. After sitting down for about a minute, I was able to see again. We sat there for about 5 minutes in the shade on the ground. We got up and we still had a wlak ahead of us to the car. We was kinda by the kiddie part of the park, and had to go over by the high school to the car. We stopped at a water fountain and got a drink. made it back to the car fine. On the way back home we stopped by the gas station and I got a gatorade and a small bag of chips to eat. The first thing I did when I got home was call my mom and told her what had happened. She said it sounded like I have high blood pressure and that could be the cause of the headache too. She also said that there is a possiblity that I could be diabetic, since it runs in the family, and if I am I might of had a diabetic attack. I have to call the doctor tomorrow, and my said if anything else happens today to go to the hospital. The whole experiance was not fun at all, not being able to see or anything. It was kinda scary...

Also being in the hot weather and being Pregnant doesn't help either. You will find out you can not do all that you did before. If your not careful you will lose the baby. It can be very serious to have High Blood Pressure while being pregnant. You diffidently need to see your doctor as soon as possible. I have done the black out thing with all of the kids and it was at times that I over did it. Your right, it is the scariest feeling. Make sure you get checked out sweetie! That's an order. ;] LYL
