[@PRiNCESSfARRxo]

I would HIGHLY recommend giving up coffee completely& eliminating as much caffeine/sugar as possible. I have severe anxiety & slightly high BP and oddly enough coffee made it SO MUCH WORSE. when I stopped drinking coffee/caffeine my anxiety got so much better! it’s something you wouldn’t think effects anxiety but it totally does!

[@angelicamurillo8707]

Farrahxo43 agree same happens to me.

[@afJacklyn99]

Yes!!! I stopped drinking caffeine because it started hurting my back and my heart rate would sky rocket then in turn send me into a panic attack. I haven’t had caffeine in over 10 years at this point.

[@ShelliXobabi]

Agree, one time I drank coffee and then went to a dr appt and they said my BP was super high and needed to recheck it bc they were worried as I usually have normal BP. So yes i agree & have heard coffee/caffeine can heighten BP & anxiety.

[@ashres10]

Agree! Coffee makes it worse.

[@kelseykimberly771]

Yes I also was told to stop any kind of caffeine it was really hard at first but I felt amazing after 3 months ❤️

[@afrprincess07]

Man, Anthony is growing on me! He’s such a natural dad and so nurturing to you (and baby)! I also love his playful personality..it really helped me perk up from all of the craziness going on! And Megz, you are one strong mama. Praying for your situation and that everything will work out in due time!

[@itskate2991]

Well he has Bella too, so being a dad isn’t really new to him.

[@afrprincess07]

It's Kate Okayy???

[@Prayeveryday99.]

It's Kate literally bye tf 😂😂

[@asmrnights8973]

I was diagnosed with hypertension earlier this year. Although mine is much more mild than yours and I am on a very small dosage it is actually not correlated to anxiety. My doctor also had me do a stress test and see a cardiologist and get an echo test to ensure that the high blood pressure had not been affecting my heart since it's obviously not good for your heart to be over working all the time. I would definitely make sure you get those. And also FYI high blood pressure is hereditary. I am in great shape and exercise and still have it. You can be healthy and a healthy weight and still have high blood pressure

[@paigensechler]

wow!!!! I didn't go to far down but I am LOVING all the positive comments I am seeing, so rare for Megs page. She deserves all the love and support she is getting!!!! Love from my channel ❤️

[@taylorchristians2710]

Registered Dietitian here: definitely pay attention to your sodium intake from your food (try to limit adding salt to your meals, look for low sodium options, try salt alternatives). Obviously, diet is not the only thing that causes hypertension, but I just thought I would throw this out there as salt does increase our BP as well. Aim to consume less than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. Sorry that you are going through this!

[@hollydolly088]

Tay LWC yup I’m a nutritionist too. Low salt. No meat and no dairy.

[@herestasha]

HOLLY Dolly I just recently cut out dairy. It hasn’t CURED my panic disorder but I definitely feel a difference. And my body isn’t in as much pain as it used to be! Never knew dairy could affect a person so much!

[@tawneesky9071]

No hate but Kaden will be less fussy if you try to pace feed and burp him after every ounce! I hope this medicine helps your blood pressure get under control 💜

[@christinesantoro3214]

My kid HATED pace feeding. If you stopped a bottle mid flow she’d freak out. Grandma thought it was a good idea but that didn’t last long lol

[@anndam__]

@@christinesantoro3214 Depends on the baby. My cousin's baby doesn't like it too! But sometimes he doesn't mind and sometimes he hates it!

[@kristenmoriarty]

Very sorry that you’re dealing with high blood pressure and anxiety. Please take care of yourself! Don’t be afraid to ask family for help with Kaden so you can get some time to sleep & get things done. ♥️

[@cieracooper5388]

Sorry to hear about your blood pressure. Take care of yourself. It is Definitely scary.

[@crystalstachowiak]

Just wanted to touch base on the topic you discussed in your Instagram story when someone asked if you were gonna have any more kids & you said “can I enjoy the baby I have now” I don’t think anyone asking that is meaning it in that way! I think people are asking if you’re considering have more kids since experiencing motherhood now. Some give birth and automatically decide they want no more like I did. I just don’t want you to feel that people are already pressuring you about another child. We love seeing your baby and family ❤️ I think some are just curious if you your experience makes you not want or do want more.

[@brandiostiguin449]

Crystal Jayde yess! 👏🏻 I thought the same

[@Jessa8891]

It’s just annoying when people ask that. My daughter is almost five and people still ask us.

[@kaylynboyd2035]

It’s still a rude thing to ask. You never know if complications happened and they can no longer have more kids. You never know what someone is going through. People should be more mindful.

[@michelle78877]

Crystal Jayde also she rushed to get engaged, married then pregnant. Why wouldn’t she rush another baby?!?

[@lovelyl_]

It takes time to know though. After my daughter was born I said no more, and now as she is getting older I am considering it again. It is nobodys business when a woman decides is the right time and it feels like pressure when people ask

[@jenngaboo]

I have the same thing after I had my son. It totally sucks. Now with this Covid-19 my anxiety its through the roof

[@baileeclemmer49]

Jennifer Lynn same :( my baby is only three months

[@tiffanykittrell2862]

I had preeclampsia and my blood pressure was high 3 months after birth then returned to normal. Whatever is going on try (I know it’s hard) to stay calm. ❤️

[@NavyBrat0120]

Try looking into grounding techniques to help when you’re having anxious thoughts. There’s a method called the 5-4-3-2-1 method that helps bring you back to the present moment when you’re caught in your anxiety. You can also try breathing techniques like belly breathing. These are some techniques that you can do anywhere and anytime when you need to calm yourself back down from anxious thoughts. Also, if you aren’t right now, try finding a therapist or counselor to talk to. Right now a lot of places are doing telehealth due to the crisis our society is in, so you can do it from home.

[@cerisekarpinski9697]

Having a baby or any kids period is super stressful. Plus, she used to be on Prozac & that causes huge stress. Not only that I would all the time be stressed if I were married to Anthony but, I have to admit, he seems a lot better & nicer since they got married & had a baby. That's just KZbin. We never know what is really going on in their life.

[@sharonkelley6009]

Please be careful with your blood pressure! High BP caused me to have a stroke at 40! Will keep you in my thoughts!! 🙏🏻

[@mmmichelleyoon]

I’m keeping you in my thoughts & well wishes, Megan! I hope you find peace and I hope that your hypertension resolves itself 😔 It was so sweet of your dad to give you his BP machine!!! And I’m so glad you have such a great support group so you don’t have to go through this alone. 💛💛💛

Did you check the sodium content on the Hello Fresh meals? My bp is high too, and I have to be careful with pre packaged food..Take care...

[@Creative_contour]

Cathy M it’s not really pre packaged nothing is pre seasoned or processed it’s just like the produce you would get at a grocery store I have high bp too and it’s fine

[@cortneymcknight5609]

@@Creative_contour yes but the actual meals themselves do have a lot of sodium and calories. you should check the nutritional information about some of those hello fresh meals. They aren't as healthy as they try to advertise at all.

[@saradessalee385]

It’s kind of disappointing to me how you put a question box up on Instagram for people to ask you general questions, and of course people are going to be curious if you plan on more children... Yet when they ask, you answer rudely. Obviously you have a brand new baby, obviously no one expects that you’re going to pop another one out nine months from today... it’s just a general question especially since you guys have Bella as well. So maybe you didn’t plan on anymore.. it’s not that big of a deal. I feel bad for those that generally were curious and then got rude answers like “Can I just enjoy the baby I just had two months ago?” Honestly, I’d rather you didn’t answer my question at all if it were me asking. You just seem to be more uptight with your followers who take the time to watch and care to see what’s new in your life. That makes me sad. Just my opinion.

[@Artisticspiritualityyoga]

Sara Dessalee Claire Gleason when she first started KZbin she was so sweet and answered my questions so sweetly. Now she ignores people and answers a lot of questions that upsets her... I feel like KZbin has changed her and she needs to take a break from it. I feel like she just exposed her life TOO much on KZbin and she’s starting to feel the effects of it.

[@ParisV1990]

Linda Smith yet your here now???

[@skeeterhaven]

Did anyone ever think she might be having a bad day, or sleep deprived? She’s worried about personal things going on plus a two month old is slot of work and she’s trying to adjust!! If you were true fans you’d be there to support her not by getting your panties in a bundle cuz she didn’t answer you like you wanted her too!! So sick of all the rudeness and non support and criticism I see all the time regarding Meghan !!! I’ve been following her for years and real life Vlogs and life aren’t always ice scream and lollipops and everything jolly!!! Critique your own life or unfollow instead of going to her comments and actually writing unwanted criticism!!!!

[@Artisticspiritualityyoga]

[@SandraSilva-sz3zb]

I think your current stress with baby, covid19, postpartum all together is raising your anxiety through the roof and causing your hypertension.

[@giver1083]

I was diagnosed with hypertension as well and am currently on bp meds. Once you get it under control it's no biggie but of course it sucks. Also, you should try the onyx and rose cbd-oil if you haven't. Katie and Hayden that own Alani Nu own this company as well and it's helped me so so much with anxiety and panic attacks! Hang in there mama💜

[@NatalieDavis]

Start eating healthy!!! Cut out the coffee!! Stop eating out so much, that food is full os sodium nd crap! Maybe try a keto, paleo diet.

[@purple0774]

Coffee does make anxiety worse.

[@NatalieDavis]

It also spikes up blood pressure. Thats all she drinks🤦🏻‍♀️

[@melissav5094]

Whatevs.

[@hollydolly088]

Natalie Davis no keto lol that will make it worse babe. That diet is all meat and that is full of saturated fat. And cholesterol. Please don’t give that kind of advice. She needs to be on a diet of just mostly fruits and vegetables, lentils beans and quinoa and oats

[@NatalieDavis]

HOLLY Dolly u should research first, before saying that its al saturated fat. Watch documentaries on how keto and paleo diets combined effect ppl, nd how great they feel.

[@missm72]

I’ll be praying for you and your family. 💕 Keep away from social media and the news. Feel better and take care of your family. Anxiety is insane and how it effects our bodies, it sucks, I’m sorry you’re going through it. I can say I’ve never been pregnant but I have blood pressure and anxiety. I know it’s been getting worse with what’s going on in the world but one thing I find that helps is shutting the world out, focus on your breathing and listen to KZbin videos that contain rain, the ocean, or anything that you find YOU love. Thinking of you! 💕

[@alyssia6510]

I had post partum anxiety when I had my first child, definitely not a fun experience! I also suffer with PTSD. 2 children later, I still have panic attacks but not as often. But with everything going on I can feel them trying to creep up on me. I’m staying away from caffeine, negative news or shows. These months with a newborn go by so fast, you will miss them, just focus on him and your health ❤️🙏

[@mare6991]

When I was a fist time mom I had twins everyone envied me when I was thinking you guys are crazy. I would stress about my house not being clean or organized but in reality this doesn’t matter because all these things will continue to be there. Enjoy you le baby and every moment you can; I know you are but you never have to apologize to your viewers if we really enjoy your company we will understand especially if you are a new mom. Now my twins are almost 12 and I have another little boy that is 2 years old and try to enjoy every second that I can with them; that’s including my understanding husband. My heart goes out to you and your family but especially to you because I know being a mom was the most desired thing for you and i want you to enjoy every little second of it. I wish you the best and I really hope you take care of yourself because Caden needs you.

[@calindagurl29]

Meg get a complete physical done and have them check your vitamin D levels if they are really low it can cause a lot of depression and panic attacks! I was going thru the same thing and my levels were extremely low, as soon as I started taking the vitamin D supplements those symptoms disappeared. Tfs xoxo

[@acauntay]

Praying for you Meg. My son just turned a year old last week. And while I'm not suffering from any serious health problems I have suffered from anxiety since I can remember. We're close in age and I love watching your videos because I relate to sooo much of what you go through. Stay strong.

[@laurenashleysexton]

Anxiety can definitely cause your blood pressure to be up. I never had mine that high due to stress, but I’ve had my thyroid cause issues like that. Hopefully they do a full bloodwork up on you to make sure there’s not an underlying condition. I had the exact opposite problem when I was pregnant with my first. My BP would get so low I’d want to pass out. I just found out I was pregnant a week ago and I get anxiety about going through a lot of these apts alone. My husband isn’t allowed back for the first ultrasound. I was looking forward to that memory of my little girl being there too so we could cherish that as a family. It’s just a rough time for everyone.

[@jessemmar2010]

My husband deals with the same thing. Anxiety, insomnia, high blood pressure, and headaches...it’s an on going struggle not only for him but for us as a couple. Try to keep your head up, get as much sleep as you can. You’re an amazing mom! And you can only keep being amazing by taking care of yourself so you can take care of your little man!

[@Candace-1982]

[@marie4788]

Sorry to hear about your blood pressure. I had gestational hypertension with both my pregnancies. I was induced 3 weeks early because of it. We had to stay in the hospital an extra 2 days because it was still so high. I was so scared to fall asleep the night we came home because of it. Was given a prescription for it and was only on it for about 2 weeks before it went back to normal. Definitely stick to what your doctor says. I also read that healthy diet could help too

caffeine makes me have anxiety, I cannot tolerate coffee from DD is way too strong for me, Meg consider quitting coffee and see how you feel ☺️

[@misstracey301]

Meg, since you are young and healthy your blood pressure is most likely hereditary and if so, not much you can do to change that so the medicine is very important for you. My husbands family is plagued with hypertension. Almost all of his cousins on his moms side were placed on BP meds in their twenties. Don’t stress about it, you can’t change that. You are otherwise in good health and at a good weight. You’ll do great!

[@RatHouseProductions1]

Have you considered going back to therapy or trying a different anxiety med? I think in the long run your mental well being will affect your physical health. Thinking of you.

[@Momlifemunoz]

Hey im not sure about the health problems but i suffer from anxiety all my life. When i became a parent it definitely was a challenge. If there was something i wish i knew back when i started was that take it easy and start to sleep when baby sleeps as much as u can. Once baby is 3 months you can train them to sleep longer. Take deep breaths when u get stressed and just remember how much you love your child to have patience. Train your mind and body to be aware that it wont be sleeping as much. Dont worry girl everyone goes through some or more things being a parent. It isnt easy but its rewarding!!!

For panic attacks, in the moment, try combat breathing. You breathe in for 4 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds, then release for 4 seconds and hold for 4 seconds - repeat at least 4x or until you can calm down. I went through this exact same thing with my 2nd baby, it’s scary but it gets better once sleep returns and hormones balance. I also had anxiety before kids, but anxiety after kids is like 10x stronger! Hang in there, Meg! You’re doing a great a job. 😍

Did they tell you, you could potentially have Pre-eclampsia? I was 5 days PP ( which they say you can still get pre-clampsia months after delivery ) when I was admitted into the emergency room with my BP being 160/100. They put me on a magnesium drip for 24 hours to prevent seizure / stroke. I was in the hospital for 4 days, they discharged me with a BP medicine and I’ve been taking it for 2 months now. My Dr. pretty much said I had pre-eclampsia underlying my whole pregnancy. This sounds a lot like that. Stay hydrated, take your BP meds everyday. They should be able to wean you off of it down the road 💖

I’ve dealt with very high blood pressure since I was 16 years old had many tests and mri on my heart, I’m healthy otherwise and they can’t figure out why I have it. I’m 32 years old with no kids, I workout 6-7 days a week and I’m healthy weight I eat healthy and it doesn’t run In my family so your not alone sweetie

[@amandaculpepper41]

Delivered at 31 weeks due to stroke level high blood pressure, had high blood pressure for a year and a half after delivering baby girl. Finally got it regulated and was able to come off meds. They also put me on a medication for anxiety, high heart rate, and blood pressure it helped a ton. I would take blood pressure at home it would be fine I had to write it down for a year straight but every appointment I had it would be sky high they finally said I must suffer from ptsd from delivery and nicu.

Do young babies always look stressed out? When do they start smiling

[@kristymarie6065]

Social Media they smile off and on! Depends on the child’s personality

My niece is two months and she has a serious face most of the time.

[@abbylheureux1317]

When they smile for the first 3 months it’s reflex and not a true smile until but some babies smile as early as 6 weeks. Each baby develops differently, my son is 7 weeks and only “smiles” in his sleep or when he’s trying to poop.

My baby girl was smiling hours after she came out. I always wondered why I never see this baby ever smile.

Hi Meg, I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole life. Before I went on medication my blood pressure was extremely high and that was age 22. Once I was on my medication for a couple months my blood pressure went back to normal-actually low.

My prayers are with you especially with this new medical problem you are having. But you are right. You need to take care of yourself, don’t ever forget that.

[@deedee-ej6vq]

I would suggest putting your trust in God and relying on Him rather than mediums and card readings. Those practices are actually against Christianity. Praying for your health and your family!

[@gnislia]

Deedee J it’s the same difference 😂😂 rely on science

[@anh7807]

Just stop. Not everyone wants to have the same religion.

[@mrscueva12]

Hi Meg, your health problems hit home for me. When i had my first son i was 32 weeks pregnant and i was rushed to the ER because i had severe preclampsia with HELLP syndrome which is very rare. It caused my placenta to rupture and my baby didnt have any oxygen going to his brain which caused him to have partial brain damage. I suffered with high blood pressure for months after giving birth. I was also on Xanex due to my anxiety which i feel like it was triggering my high BP. It took a lot to overcome my anxiety but my mom helped me out a lot just talking to her made me feel better. She would assure me i was going to be fine. I think it also takes time for your body to recover from all the hormones and being pregnant. I also stopped drinking caffeine which was hard for a sleep deprived mother lol. Just wanted to tell you that you are not alone and you will overcome this Im now pregnant with my 4th child and my other pregnancies have been completely normal. God Bless ,xoxo

[@mrscueva12]

*Xanax

[@Selderoni]

You have such dangerous high blood pressure but are drinking wine with dinner (salty, sodium rich hello fresh meals) every night and then go take a Xanax whenever you "need" to? 🥴 Sounds like your made up miscarriage story all over again.

[@Eclairsu]

Selderon she just needed the attention back on her again. lol She never listens to doctors advice. Only mediums. Lol

[@nikitapatrick92]

That's terrible you're dealing with this! When I was pregnant with my daughter I had a bit of a thyroid issue (hypothyroidism). Now my daughter is 2 and a half and I just found out I have severe hypothyroidism. I feel like I've been dealing with this for a while (since my daughter was 6 months old) but no ones (including myself) taken it seriously until now. I'm glad you're taking care of yourself, what you said was completely true, we have to make our health a priority for, not only ourselves but for our families too.

[@socialmedia1250]

Does Anthony have a job? Maybe you could take a break from KZbin to relax and just focus on you and baby.

[@geegar3825]

Social Media anthony, a job? don’t make the two of them have high blood pressure now

[@xxviciousbeautyxx]

Well many people dont have jobs right now obviously but he used to work for comcast.

Pretty sure he’s been unemployed for awhile now, but she never talks about it so who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@janellel8528]

He’s got a job. He works out of the house

[@fabscisneros9362]

He does! Megan post once in a while thats not much $$

[@jacklinyeager9113]

I had preeclampsia with my 1st baby in 2012....and the high blood pressure has stuck around ever since. ( I've been on a BP med since the last few weeks of my 1st pregnancy) My Dad also has it as well. I finally decided to get myself on an anxiety med after my 2md baby this past July...which brought my blood pressure down a bit. It al goes hand in hand in my opinion. Postpartum, anxiety, the BP...and it is a scary thing, BUT if you are on top of it and it's managed well it helps reduce the stress of it all. I 100% understand your feelings! Be well Mama!!

[@tracyellis6878]

Did you use a spatula for the desitin? 🤔

[@abccats]

Yes

[@Momma-bj8je]

It’s made for putting diaper cream on your baby so u don’t get messy! 😊

[@danis1210]

The apps “calm” and “headspace” are really good for meditation 🧘‍♀️. I use them a lot before bed. Even right on KZbin you can find some pretty good meditations. Stay strong Meg, sending you lots of love and positivity! 💕💫

[@mariewatts8404]

Have to thought about seeing someone like a therapist for the anxiety? I know they can help you find out why your anxious and help you find wants to cope with anxiety when you feel like it starts.

[@mshaddox3625]

Marie Watts I’m almost positive she was seeing a therapist here and there if I’m remembering correctly ? But I just don’t think she’s been in awhile or hasn’t shared that she’s been :)

[@ChristinaElizabeth15]

I’m so sorry to hear you are dealing with anxiety again. I have been dealing with horrible anxiety as well where its been messing with my heart. Panic attacks are the worst and can be so scary. 🙏🏻 you get your blood pressure and anxiety under control.

[@ashleemorrow9079]

I’m sorry to hear about everything going on with your health Meg. I pray that with the right medication and meditation your health will start to improve ❤️. Sending healing and positive thoughts your way!

[@colleenpeterson7628]

Oh Meg, I'm so sorry about your panic attacks. The app HeadSpace has been a lifesaver for me. Especially going to bed, their sleep casts are awesome. They have short and long meditations, whatever you need. I hope you start feeling more healthy and in better spirits soon! Kaden is the cutest baby munch ever I love him

[@lh3879]

Counciling, Bible study, SLEEPING, healthy diet(watch your sugars caffeine and salt intake, meditating, me-time). It’s all a mental game. Practice gratitude. Mind over matter. Once all this is over, get help from friends and family to help with baby while you do chores. Have date nights with Ant. It takes a village. You got this!!!

[@zoelemort]

Many studies have shown that women with preeclampsia are not being adequately monitored and are experiencing high blood pressure long after they give birth. Doctors are often missing the severity because the follow up care is not as thorough. Blood pressure fluctuates so much throughout the day and sometimes it can be within normal range at your checkup visit. Utilize the blood pressure machine; document the numbers throughout the day: first waking up, after meals, after a stressful moment, workouts, before bed etc for a few weeks and then follow up and communicate directly with your cardiologist. Please make sure you see a specialist for the best care and options; especially since hypertension runs in your family. Sending lots of love. Stay well, Meg and stay safe ❤️

[@shanonthomas6970]

I had HB with all three of my pregnancies. It did leave as quickly as it arrived once I gave birth. I hate that you are going through this Meg. You don’t deserve all this mess! Love u guys! Hope the doctors figure out what’s going on and corrects it soon!!!!

[@tinamarie703]

I’m sorry, I cnt help but watch him suck that bottle down and the lil cute sounds he makes while drinking it . It’s the cutest thing ever 😩 I so miss my boys being that age. They are now 16 & 5 💙

[@eighthwonder71]

I’ve been watching you for years and have never commented. I can relate to the BP issues, I’ve been thru it. Once you get your anxiety under control, and you get past postpartum, your BP may level out. Try to minimize things in your diet that raise your BP, which include salt, alcohol, chocolate, and caffeine. Try to relax, easier said than done. And walk every day. Even if it’s just around the block. The sunshine and fresh air will help. When I did those things my BP came down and I got off the meds. You can do it.....I have faith in you!

[@caralucey]

I am 24 and take lisinopril for my high BP. It’s extremely scary but motivation to focus on yourself and your health! You’re not alone.

[@stephanietmua]

Stay strong Meg! It’s really always scary dealing with any sort of health issue.

[@sheliamatthews1120]

My husband started struggling with blood pressure last year. He would get unbearable headaches. He’s on daily medicine now and everything is fine. Bravo to you mama for getting help where you need it. Even if it involves medicine. I’ve watched you since I was 16 and I’ll continue to also be a supporter ♥️

[@carmens6411]

Sometimes we do that when we think things are cute. It’s called cute aggression. I find myself doing it with my pets sometimes. Google it, it’s just an instinctive response.

[@kelseykimberly771]

Hi Meg I’ve watched you for years and a little over 2 years ago at just 23 I was diagnosed with high blood pressure out of the blue it made me feel so crappy with headaches and just feeling yucky and doctors didn’t take it seriously because of how young I was I ended up having a stroke just a year later after a chiropractor appt and have permanent deficits ever since, if the meds help it’s worth it I have anxiety but could never get my blood pressure down and am on medication for it now. I have perfect numbers all the time now take care of yourself so you can be the best version of you ❤️

[@TaylorXo5]

Does meg just not know how to cook, or would Anthony rather do it? in all the time I seen them together I have NEVER seen her cook..and why doesn't kaden ever smile? he always looks soo stressed or not happy :(

[@anndam__]

She doesn't know how to cook, she relays on Anthony on everything! Baby at 0-3 months doesn't smile much until they hit 4 months.

[@beatriceserrano7208]

I will be praying for u Meg. It is hard as a mother to take care of ourselves. Please take care of urself. Blood pressure issues are something to take seriously. Sending u much love and prayers.

[@mommaonboard]

Love watching your family girl! Been here since 2010 🥰

[@jenniferh8800]

I just learned that your body/heart rhythm will sync with calming music! I love the “concentrate/study/work/read” playlist on Spotify!! I’m with you, I’ll take all the tips I can get for anxiety😅

[@Mystical244]

Havent watched in months. Is she not breastfeeding? If so, did she talk about why she isn't?

[@abccats]

No, she hasn't talked about it only thing she has said is they are doing what's best for their child.

[@teresacornejo8458]

She pumped and supplemented at first , after a few weeks kaden took the formula well so they stuck to that, also Could not pump enough to keep the supply up

[@dreababee12]

She’s formula feeding she mentioned it in her insta live, she said it was cause of her “complications” after labor.. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Glamorrous]

Why is this any of your business? Or anyone for that matter. Such a weird thing to ask. I don’t get why people are so obsessed with knowing if a mom is breastfeeding. It’s no one’s business. In the end, fed is best.

[@KLeeBrien]

Hi Meg, Sorry to hear about your health complications. I turned 40 in November and I am on blood pressure medication. The doctor thought it was very strange and wanted to look further into it considering I was young to have high blood pressure. And believe me it was very high. Anyway I had a CT scan done and it shows I have Fibromuscular Dysplasia hence why I am having such high blood pressure at my age. I have an appointment in July with a kidney specialist and may have to get a stint put in, Depending on how bad it is. Chin up girl. No matter what at least the medication is going to keep it under control for now. That’s what I’m thankful for. Everything else I will deal with as it comes.

[@melissaavila7143]

I have had BP since I was 21 I am now 34 and have been taking medication since I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. I have 4 boys and ever pregnancy has had its challenges. With my last son my BP got really bad they had me on magnesium for 24 hours. It was the worst thing ever! Its really important to take good care of your self and try to stay positive I know its easier said then done. I am paying for it now all those years I didn't take my BP seriously enough and not taking care of myself. I am working on my health now but it takes a tole on you. I hope you stay positive and take good care of your self your baby needs a healthy and happy mom.

[@fallon3779]

I’m 26 years old, no kids, vegan, active.. My blood pressure got to 176/100. After many different tests my cardiologist thinks my high blood pressure is genetic. Both of my parents have high BP. I have also struggled with anxiety for years. I am medicated and it is now under control. I highly recommend headspace! It helps with my anxiety SO MUCH!! Love watching your videos!! Xoxo

[@SexyPantsBrox3]

I didn’t have a depressed feeling after giving birth but I had SEVERE anxiety for about the first year of my sons life. Postpartum depression is not always depression it can be anger, anxiety, etc. it’s mostly extreme emotions. 6 months after my son was born, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. I have been taking blood pressure medicine since 2018. It’s okay, it’s scary but just follow your gut and your doctor’s recommendation for treatments.

[@1Life2Live007]

SexyPantsBrox3 this kinda sounds like what I’m experiencing. Thanks for this comment!

[@VirgoChick14]

That's how I have been with both boys. I'm 7 months PP and my anxiety came back .

[@nadzyfizz5101]

Hi Meg, I had terrible high blood pressure 2 years ago and it was bad to the point where I was almost passing out. It was because of my job I had. I was super stressed and had bad anxiety but I got another job and it all worked out and I'm so grateful. I hope you feel better and I recommend Abraham Hicks. This helps with life and what I like to listen to and meditate with. ❤

[@khewgley]

Just know that when you reach out to mediums and physics you open the door to the demon realm..don’t think you would want that mess in your life or your child’s life! Find a good church and root yourself there, get close to Jesus!

[@kelbear34]

When I had my little girl 4 yrs ago I was diagnosed with post eclampsia which is high blood pressure after pregnancy. I even had to be put in the hospital for a week 5 days after she was born because of the high BP. My doc told me it would get better and it did. It took a good 6 months but I have had no issues since. I also had post partum anxiety and would have panic attacks at work when my daughter was being taken care of by my mother in law. She was and is still being well taken care of but I just couldn’t control the attacks. They have since subsided as well. Hang in there and be patient and take the meds. You are doing a fantastic job but always remember to take care of yourself first.
