My name is Caitlin. I am new to this group and motherhood. I am looking forward to reading all of the great advice and tips given. Has anyone here experianced an increase in blood pressure during the first trimester? I'm not sure if it is related to the increase in blood and stroke volume. My usual is 116/65 but when I went to the doctor's to get my referal for my OB/GYN it was 137/79.

    In my experience, blood pressure is lower during pregnancy.

    I'm just curious how you can have a due date in July. I am only 5 weeks along and I am due at the end of April. Unless you are planning to be pregnant for 11 months, a July due date seems impossible!
