Looks like I’ll be having a November baby....
I’m 36+4 and have had gestational diabetes so was already scheduled for induction on 12/7 at 39+2. Last week I started noticing my blood pressure rising and occasional headaches. Went to appointment today and they found traces of protein in my urine and BP was 142/91. So Induction was moved up to 11/30 (I’ll be 38+2) due to gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, and advanced maternal age (I’m 36). I’m also doing a 24 hour urine test and some bloodwork tomorrow to see if it’s actual preeclampsia. If it is, I’ll likely be induced sooner. Good news is that baby is at -2, I’m 2.5cm dilated, cervix is soft and 50% effaced. So hopefully body responds well to induction. Oh an I’m also GBS positive... all the things! Ugh. Anyone else moving to November baby?
Edited to add: I’ve also been put on modified bed rest. Should be fun with a 4 year old and 2 year old at home.
