After waiting until 37+ wks to commence my mat leave, I went to my OB appt. yesterday where it was discovered my BP is raised and I have symptoms of Hypertension. My OB asked if I was still working to which I replied that I just started my mat leave. She said 'Good thing, as I'd be signing you off of work!'.
She's advised me to put my feet up and have complete R&R. Of course I'm worried about the situation but also disappointed that all the last minute stuff I put off until mat leave will not be getting done by me. I really looked forward to lots of walks, house cleaning and baby preparations.
So for now, I'm being closely monitored and if the situation worsens I'll be having a C-section soon to deliver baby, as they won't induce me due to a prior C.
Is anyone else experiencing Hypertension? If so, what is your OB/Midwife doing about it?
