Going to take the dog to the dog park and walk around slowly. Maybe sit on my ball for a bit? I really don't think this baby is ever coming, my uterus has cried wolf too much.
41+1 now. As much as I love my friends and how they give a shit about me, I'm finding all the "have you had that baby yet?" messages tiresome. Do they think they will never find out if they don't ask? (I don't mind the people who are asking things like "How are you doing?", that's different, it's the WHERE BABY?! crew that are chafing my hide)
We had to rush off to hospital last night because I was seeing flashing zig zag lights in front of my eyes, threw up, had diarrhoea and had a horrible headache.
No protein in urine, blood pressure pretty much normal (after 30 mins lie down), blood tests normal. We also had the non-stress test (or whatever it's called, the fetal monitoring when you're just chilling out) and managed to get one contraction on the trace which was validating. I think they think I'm mistaking BH contractions for the real thing. (Funny thing was, I didn't notice it was happening because the blood pressure cuff was more uncomfortable.)
The baby is totally fine, god knows what the flashing lights were but it wasn't pre-eclampsia.
Oh and the midwife commented "you must be bruised in there! is the baby always so active?"
