Congrats Squig she's beautiful and love her name!

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Ahhh congratulations squig! She is beautiful! I love her name, I love Irish names.. Hope you're both doing well

Does anyone know if 127/70 is still a good reading for bp ? Google says it's fine =) it has crept up but it's not like woahhh haha

 

[vaniilla]

Squig - huge congratulations! she's so so adorable! I love the name too

Rhi - that's the average adult bp as far as I know (120/80) and although it's normal it's on high side of healthy so ideally it should be lower.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

When I checked this morning it was 104/58. Which is closer to normal for me as I get low bp. Maybe I shouldn't be checking my own bp. I mean if they wanted us to they would give us a machine right ?! Haha. Just the worst patient. Lol.

I would assume so but that's because mine was 131/81 last night in the hospital and they didn't mention there being anything wrong with it

It does increase steadily during the day and tends to peak around the middle of the day and activity will cause it to rise too. I think with blood pressure it's more about following a pattern and it not consistently going too high. Anything persistently over 140/90 is considered too high.

 

[GeralynB]

My normally low blood pressure was high last appointment (140/80) but not sure if that's because I was talking about baby being breech as the nurse was taking it and it was stressing me out. Hopefully it's ok when I go today

 

[Dory85]

Rhi - that is a perfectly normal blood pressure. Not high at all!

 

[jalilma]

Rhi... That's totally fine, esp for the 3rd trimester. My Dr says as long as mine stays under 140/90 that's ok. (luckily mine is never near that.)

 

[joeybrooks]

squig massive congratulations. I'm so happy for you. She is absolutely beautiful and I adore the name. my mum's name is resaleen so if I'd had a girl I'd have wanted something with rose in it.

hope you make a speedy recovery and are home soon x

Any word from starlight? Wondering if it turned into something.

Still just dealing with starting and stopping bh over here. I've even tried some nipple stim but so far nothing. Will try dtd this evening

 

[Dory85]

I'm not sure what time zone Starlight lives in. She may be sleeping at the moment?

 

[Lavochain]

Oh goodness I have missed a whole lot! We've been super busy and the time seems to have flown. Congratulations to those with babies!!

I'm hoping my LO isn't far now, he is measuring off the scale and I'm struggling with all the extra weight. I can't believe we are seeing babies here already. I hope everyone is well.

Squig - Such a beautiful name for a darling ❤️

 

[vaniilla]

I hope all is well with starlight


mommy - same problem here, really sick of the achey BH coming and going all day.

 

[joeybrooks]

I spent 5 hours at hospital yesterday as BP was up but same story when I got there, it was ok and bloods etc clear, but there was 1+ protein in urine. My community midwife saw me again today and BP was 158/100 so she called the Dr I'd seen yesterday to see what he wanted to do. Because all tests yesterday were clear he was happy not to see me again but I have a midwife coming to my house on Saturday and Sunday to take readings and on Monday I have a Dr apt at the hospital to discuss delivery due to baby's size. I'm not really too sure what will, happen but she said I won't be going to full term so I suppose That might mean induction next week or early the week after.

I'd love to go into labour naturally but I had such a scare last time and things went from zero to critical so fast that I'd rather it all happen under controlled circumstances. I hope they understand that and don't think I'm just being impatient.

 

[Starlight32]

Squig, congrats on your baby girl! So happy for you

I just showered after getting home from work. I started feeling pretty bad today. My crotch area started hurting early on and walking was bothersome (I had to really slow it down). Baby seems low, perhaps lower than usual? My bump hurts and my back has started to hurt again. I feel run down. I'm going to get some rest tonight! Unfortunately sleeping has not been very comfy because I feel like my belly has a bunch of bricks in it! It feels so heavy especially when laying down on my side.

 

[Squig34]

Oh my! What a gorgeous, petite little lady ♡ How did it go? They must have got you to theatre pretty promptly?

Thank you
It all went well & quickly! Got the call about 8.30 to come in, arrived at the hospital about 9.30, taken down to prep/theatre at 10.40, baby born at 11.15!! All went smoothly.

Baby girl is doing great & I'm fine too - but I still have all the painkillers was nervous about getting the spinal but sure once that was done, it was done! We are managing to BF too.

Joey I hope things go well for you.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

So glad things went so well for you today squig and I'm glad they took you straight down this time! I found the spinal to be the worst bit too!

Truly I was dreading the painkillers wearing off but the recovery from my section wasn't painful - I just wasn't as mobile in terms of speed getting around or getting to the floor etc.

Joey I really hope you can have the induction birth is scary at the best of times but especially when you've already had one emergency delivery - I can honestly say Georgia's birth has scared me enough that I'll never ever do it again.

Little G is 6lbs now, she's doing super and we still barely know she's even here. The night before last she made up for it though and was awake literally the whole night. I got about 90 mins sleep in total. She does that again and I'm getting the bottle out daddy can deal with her! Neonatal nurse and HV both agreed that even though she's only been feeding for a week bf is well established and introducing a bottle now should be fine

 

[Tinky_82]

How did your appt go Geralyn?

Joey, given your last birth experience I'm sure they'll understand and get you induced.

Starlight sorry to hear you are so uncomfortable - are you on your feet a lot at work?

Squig thanks for updating us - great news about bf.
