Hi Lucy :) I second all of those feelings. It's a rather scary notion and seems to have came around so quickly but my goodness I'm ready for little one to make his entrance into the world. Sleep is a long and distant memory and my partner painted my toenails last night but I think my cat would have done a better job, haha! He's a gem for trying though.
I'm currently whizzing around trying to make sure everything is ready but flagging and being drawn to the sofa, tea and a nice book.
Have you started your maternity leave yet?
Has anyone on this thread had any issues around blood pressure during the latter part of their pregnancy? I've been perfectly normal all the way through my pregnancy with no issues but seem to have run into some minor preeclampsia symptoms over the last few weeks. My BP is running at about 130/90, I have a trace of protein in my urine at every appointment and I have a frontal headache with mild swelling in my right foot. My MW seems to think that this is OK for now as long as my BP doesn't get any higher and other symptoms remain mild, but I can't help but be nervous about it. Has anyone had any experience with this before?
