Little rant as I’m a bit anxious. 37wks
Hi, so I’m 37+1 with my fourth kiddo but previous pregnancies aren’t like clear memories for me atm so this feels a little new to me. The past week I’ve had on and off diarrhoea, I’ve been super duper tired and for two weeks just felt so off with my mood in general, my hands have been getting more swollen as the week has gone on and then today I’ve not stopped going the toilet for a number 2 again! I have a bit of a headache and I’ve napped twice this morning as I was sooo tired!! I’ve also felt really nauseous the last three days too. I popped over to my mums for my sister in laws birthday and while there she took my blood pressure for me, all in all about 7-8 times over the hours I’ve been there. It’s gone up from how it’s been throughout this whole pregnancy which is making me worry a bit. I’m under a consultant for previous preeclampsia in two of my other pregnancies and get growth scans every four weeks. I have an apt tomorrow morning which they’ll do bp, pee etc there but it’s making me super anxious that I’ll end up being kept in tomorrow and maybe induced with all these symptoms now suddenly appearing. My midwife agreed to a sweep on Thursday if my consultant says yes tomorrow and have had my mind set on baby being here Thursday/Friday as sweeps set me off very quickly! But now I don’t know if it will be sooner and honestly I’m panicking.
