Pregnancy update 27 weeks

Visible changes in my body: still no weight gain, and my smallish bump is there, but others still can't see it :-(

Other: today I have an appointment with cardiologist, everything seems ok so far except from my blood pressure jumping a bit, so hopefully will see him next in 6 or 12 months.

How do I feel: started to have horrible pains in my bum area (only on one side)- when I'm sitting down, standing up, trying to move my leg when sitting down and sometimes when walking.

Cravings: still none

Fitness: The same routine- walking every day for max. 25 minutes and swimming once a week

Baby: At 27weeks her nostrils have opened and her lungs are now capable of breathing. Her central nervous system can now control her breathing too. This week,  baby weighs almost 2 pounds (about the size of a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. 

Any recommendations what to do with my pain?

Ozeri blood pressure monitor review

I remember the first time I was about to pass out or even passed out (I don't remember much from that day) was at my dad's funeral (he died from heart attack at the age of 42) when I was only 8 year old.

Since then I remember my mum taking me to different doctors, lots and lots of tests, monitoring due to me having mitral valve collapsed (Themitral valve separates the upper left heart chamber from the lower left heart chamber, and helps control blood flow through the heart), then high blood pressure and closer to my 20's I had bradycardia (slow heart rate). My mum was always there to remind me of my routine checks and measure my blood pressure as she had bought a blood pressure monitor earlier for herself as well, but now I moved out and ..

Thanks to Ozeri I am an owner of my personal Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor (£19.95, you can purchase from Amazon). 

OzeriCardioTech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor:

* Portable, accurate, and simple-to-use with clinically proven technology.
*New MWI (Measure While Inflate) technology automatically inflates to the appropriate level (no adjustments required) while reducing measurement time.
*Stores 180 blood pressure readings (90 x 2 users) with date and time recordings.
*Automatic Irregular heartbeat (Arrhythmia) detection and WHO Hypertension Indicator.
*Push-button access to Average blood pressure calculation.

It is compact and if you need to travel somewhere won't take much space. I also compared readings with GP's monitor and it's pretty much the same +- few digits.

Overall, happy with the monitor and will use it on a frequent basis.

Disclamer: Ozeri has kindly sent me blood pressure monitor for the purpose of a review. All views and opinions are honest and my own.
