Just need a rant. Big baby. BP. Work. 34 weeks

[Beanmama18]

So I'm 34 weeks pregnant. Baby is already estimated as 6lbs 8 so way over. Unfortunately my scan was on a Saturday so I've over a week of waiting before I can talk to a consultant about it. Really starting to worry me. My GTT at 28 weeks was clear.

This on top of a fluctuating BP which sees me in and out of the day unit.

I'm also really struggling with work both physically and mentally I've only 2 weeks left but I'm literally finding myself in tears on a daily basis due to the way I'm being treated.

I've tried to reach out to friends who have just ignored messages and my husband is either in a foul mood or just shrugs it all off with 'itll be fine'. Just needed somewhere to vent everything.

Reaching out to offer some solidarity. I'm 9 days postpartum in what sounds like an almost identical situation (PIH, growth scans, ever increasing doses of Labetalol and eventually an induction at 37+5).

Still in hospital here following readmission on day 4 because my BP went up to 170/110 and stayed there despite 1000mg a day of Labetalol and Nifedipine which makes me feel like I'm having a stroke anyway.

Just to say I know exactly what you're going through and it sucks when you feel like everyone else just gets to have the baby and go home while you're ill but not really ill and being passed round two different sets of doctors a day for weeks on end.

You're nearly there now. Hopefully they won't make you go to term. If it makes you feel any better, my induced birth was absolutely amazing thanks to two fabulous student midwives. I sincerely hope you can find some positives amongst all the crap over the next few weeks xx
