First time mom here.
To make things short. I have not had a good experience with my pregnancy.
As for how I feel and symptoms I’ve been great. Until now. . It’s the hospital and doctors who have made it not so great really.
To make a long story short. They’ve forgotten to send in my urine. Had to at 20 weeks… they lost my 3 hr glucose test. Not scheduled me for a make up anatomy scan because they couldn’t get everything they needed the first time.
It’s been mostly my job to get stuff done that’s needed since they haven’t bothered to.
Had to track my own blood sugar. Seemed borderline after two weeks. Doctor didn’t say it was bad and that was done. Weeks later the other midwife says I should still be tracking. WEEKS LATER
Though baby is measuring under 6lbs at 37 weeks.
The biggest issue is my blood pressure.
It’s seems to have been high the last couple times going into my appts.
Went to hospital. All tests came back fine. And my BP went down after hours there.
Go in for a follow up after the hospital and are already talking about inducing me at 37 weeks.
That isn’t ideal or what my partner and I want.
My SYS ranges from 128-138 every time. My DIA ranges from 92-100 about every time. And that’s concerning for them. As it is me.
I monitored my own BP at home for two days and it wasn’t to far up there in my range. I hadn’t really relaxed to much. Just did my normal stuff.
But when I went back to work and checked it every couple hours it was in the higher of my normal range. Making me concerned even more. Work does suck and I hate my job. So I could see why
I hear bed rest doesn’t really help with preeclampsia if that’s what it is. But I feel I should take some days off work and monitor myself and go from there. Which I plan to o.
I really don’t wanna induce that early. Unless absolutely needed. I’m a scared new mom and want him to bake more. So If I can safety keep him in for a couple more weeks I’d feel better.
But I need advice. Thoughts. Something.
I apologize if my story seems all over. This is my first post.
I’ve also had a headache sometimes. But it never stays. Kinda just comes and goes.
Swollen ankles here and there but that could be salt?
I’m just not sure. And it seems my doctors aren
