hi ladies , i had my scan yesterday, i felt so unwell after i had to go straight to bed. the baby was soo good, official due date they settled on was august 16th, but they took my blood pressure and it was so so high, never seen it so high. but the room was so hot and full of people while waiting. plus the mask on top. but they are treating me as likely to get pre e later as i had it last time. so they are taking it very seriously and told me i wont see a day passed 37 weeks so baby will be here end of july.
im also O - so they took bloods and have a new system that they send the blood to bristol (in the uk ) and they test the babys blood type. ive also been prescribed extra high folic acid as its supposed to help prevent pre e apparently. also aspirin but im challenging that, they said its to make sure baby is bigger this time. im not sure i want to do that. not everyone can have 8lb+ babies wish they just left all alone in that regard

Oh no, sorry you're feeling unwell. I think one of the main reasons they also give aspirin is to delay onset of/reduce chance of developing pre-eclampsia. Aspirin in theory should also increase the blood flow to the baby by making the placenta work more efficiently- that's my understanding anyway. I've been taking it since conception (low dose) due to recurrent miscarriage. What dose have they suggested you take?
Lovely scan pic too xx
