Yesterday morning I got up after only and hours sleep cause I had to go to an appointment at fetal well being to check babies movements. As usual (when at the hospital) she was great. I felt ok just tired.
I went home, had breakfast and fell asleep on the sofa for about 4 hours. When I woke I felt a little groggy but put that down to lack of sleep the night before. As the day went on I suddenly got a headache. I had some dinner, drank lots of water and relaxed but it didn't shift it, in the end I gave in and took some paracetamol. Soon after I fell asleep again for about 3 hours. When I woke up just after midnight I tried to get off the sofa but I was in pain with my legs, they had ballooned, I had fluid from my feet upto my kness, my hands and wrists were the same, when I managed to get up I looked in the mirror and my face was huge, my eyes were like slits, I could actually feel the swelling. I went to the bathroom and noticed my lower bump was sagging, I pushed it up to find that was full of fluid too. Yuk! I left finger imprints in my belly. Oh and I still had the headache I went to sleep with.
So 1am my other half decided to ring labour ward for advice.they wanted to see my straight away. So we headed it. When we arrived they took a urine sample which showed 2+ of protein, they did my blood pressure, first reading 133/80 second reading 140/89, they also sent off a blood sample which came back fine.
They decided to check my cervix to see if they could induce me. I got some very strange doctor who with out much warning out 3 fingers inside me, I was coming off the bad, the pain was unreal, the midwife just kept telling me to relax and keep my bum on the bum, impossible when some dude is ramming 3 fingers in you. He couldn't reach my cervix though so they decide to admit me to keep an eye on me for the next 24 hours. So all day (Tuesday) I've been on and off monitors to check baby, blood pressure been checked god nos how many times, it did go low 106/56 but it's gradually gone back up, seems to have settled around 120-130/60.
My consultant sent a off a urine sample to check how much protein I have, hopefully the results will be back in the morning. They will check my cervix again too. If it's ready then they will induce me, more so cause of all the swelling I have, it's soooo painful, I'm literally covered in fluid from head to toe
Sorry for the long post. I just had to write it down. I'm so fed up in here, it's too bright and noisy. I just want to be at home with my other half wrapped up in my own bed. My emotions are all over the place too since I'm kinda in limbo not knowing what they are going to of and I feel like I can't cope with all this fluid anymore. I'm in a lot of pain and can barely move. it's now 2.00 am here and I can't sleep, grrrrr!
