And it was all going so well...

[maybebaby]

Just got back from the midwife, my blood pressure's gone up loads . I have to stay at home and rest for the next 3 days then she's coming round on Sunday to check it again.

She said that's probably why I've been getting headaches & feeling dizzy, and she wasn't happy when I told her I'd been worried & called the delivery suite & the woman there had told me to take 2 paracetamol and stop worrying.

And if bp stays up I won't get my home birth.

some suggestions on how 2 lower ur bp by chilling u out:

1. get a massage (with music & candles!)
2. have a bubble bath (with music & candles!)
3. get ur hair/face/nails done
4. get cuddles
5. stroke a cat/dog
6. get kisses all over
7. chocolate (not really, probably wise 2 avoid it, but if only!)


really hope they work, but if not i'm sure u deserve em anyway!

Thanks for all the replies, midwife arrived at 9:30 yesterday morning and found bp was down to 125/65 so she was happy with that. She did say that it MAY have had something to do with the fact it was Sunday morning and I hadn't been in work for 3 days! I've got to go in again on Thursday to check it again, hopefully it will all stay down!

I've still been getting headaches and had spots in front my eyes earlier. No protein in wee though so that's a good sign.

I've got to go into hospital for a Glucose Tolerance Test tomorrow, I can't eat anything from 8pm tonight until about 10:30 tomorrow morning (assuming they're not running late...)! Midwife said they'd usually do the test after 28 weeks but I had glucose in my wee last week so they're checking early.

So mainly good news! Hopefully everything will be normal tomorrow & Thursday and I can enjoy my birthday on Sunday.
