High Blood Pressure or Anxiety

Everything is going well so far except that when I lay down at bedtime my heart is just pounding away. I spoke with my doctor today and she said that it is a normal thing with pregnant women and is usually related to anxiety. I was worried that my blood pressure might be high. She said that with high blood pressure I might see dark spots, get dizzy, have swelling, or just might not feel really well. IF that's the case I should get checked out. But since I haven't had any of those other symptoms, just a rapidly beating heart at bedtime, I should be fine. She said that if it gets overwhelming or I can't handle it anymore that they can put me on some pregnancy safe anti-anxiety medication.

Since I have my 12 week sonogram next Friday (March 14th) I'm going to try to make it to that appointment without needing anything. Hopefully I can. I might also start doing my yoga before bedtime. Yoga helps calm the nerves and relax the body. Or... maybe I can get Danny to give me a nice massage before bedtime  ;)
