Hi everyone - will try and not be too long-
Basically with DC1 I had pre-eclampsia and with DC2 i had border line hypertension which was monitored ets ets. DC1 was born at 38 weeks and DC2 40 + 4 with monitoring - both naturally although DC1 was a ventouse and had horrendous fetal distress etc and spent time in NICU. DC2 more controlled epidurals and spinal again naturally but much better-
This is my 3rd pregnancy ( I fell pregnant on the coil) I am 39 weeks today
Spent the past 2 days in Day Unit- my Bp has been rising ( but again it then lowers etc) swollen face, feet, protein urine, high bp and seeing silver dots.
I really want this to be over the headaches alone can leave me incapacitated with the need to just lie and hang my head over the bed or tie a scarf really tight over my head to relieve the pressure.
Am on bed rest and have to go in tomorrow for a check- The Registra in Day Unit said today we need to see you ( on sat am) and if I don't go into labour monday morning for a check, BP assessment and a review with discussion of induction- I am more than fine with this.
The children will be in wrap around care on monday from 8-6pm at school BF club/ nursery etc as we have no family nearby/
When I go in on monday morning do you think I could just say can you just get me going I am not bothered about the cascade of intervention -
It is in my notes for an epidural because of my BP and the need to keep it closely guarded what I am more scared of is this was by far the healthiest of all my pregnancies ironically - weight wise, had to have a GTT and glucose lowest- swimming and walking and my BP had been brilliant but suddenly I am almost back again with my 1st DC when it all just went so wrong with the BP, his fetal distress him in NICU and me in and out of hospital for nearly 2 weeks.
Can I just say please induce me- i've never had it done so don't know what to expect
Sorry this is so long if I don't respond straight away am just having a lie down but want to say thank you for any words of advice.
