Wow so much going on tonight!
Will just give you my update (boring in comparison to others!)!
So i called L and D this afternoon as ive had a headache over my right eye for 3 days now and nothing is shifting it. Having had a raised BP too, and then started feeling lightheaded, dizzy and was violently sick. They asked me to come in for monitering so off we went arriving about 415pm.
The midwife that dealt with me could not have been nicer, she went through everything, there was protein in my urine, and my BP was taken about 5 times each time it was higher than before.
I was strapped to the monitor for about an hour, baby was doing just great, no cause for concern, i had bloods taken out the back of my hand as they couldnt get a vein in my arm (hand now sore and swollen! lol) and we had to stay and wait for the results for about another 2 hours, a consultant came and saw me, happy that i didnt have PE but there is still concern over my BP so got to go back on thurs and have that re checked.
The consultant also advised me i could have a sweep there and then which i was very happy about as i was having to wait till friday for one, so that was done, my cervix was apparently very forward and long which is good, but quite closed at present, she did get her finger in but was quite tight. Anyhow she came out with a load of mucasy blood and said "thats your bloody show" so that was progress!
I am allowed another sweep on thurs if needed so am happy with that. So all ok am just glad i got checked out as has given me peace of mind at least.
Hann, sounds like you are making great progress! Am looking foward to baby news from you in the morning when i wake up!
Eve, sorry you arent getting the expericance you are hoping for but at least baby will be here safe and sound very soon. If its any consolation i now can no longer have a water birth due to my BP, i found out today.
Tor, congratulations to you! cant wait to see pics of your little girl and hear your birth story.
Thankyou to everyone for there supportive text messages etc. xx
