Since my visit to the Hosp on Fri, the midwives decided it was best to come do some home visits every other day to check my BP was ok.
One came Sat and it was 130/80 (which she said was fine), then they came today and it was 130/100 and then 130/90, plus I tested positive for protein in my urine. So she told me to go up the hospital to have my bloods done again; I feel like a pin cushion! Only had them done on Fri!
Whats weird is, everytime I go to the hosp to have my BP read, it drops back down. They tested it 6 times at the hosp and it was 120/70, then just kept coming down until it was 105/67. I find that really strange, my Mam suffers from high bp, every since she had me, and she suffers from white coat syndrome; whenever she goes to see a professional to have her BP read, it rockets- mine does the opposite; how weird. And its not if it could have been a faulty machine; they took all the readings manually.
So now I have to go back Wed for more BP readings, and they've now reffered me to a consultant for an app thurs. Previosuly I've been under a group of midwives called the "mum team", but i think I will be under this consultant now.
I'm wondering why I've been put under the consultant (the midwife just said because my BP has been up 3 times in the last week), and what this will mean for me? Do you think if it stays up they'll induce me? I'm 37 weeks now, and the midwife said today that the baby is "well down" position wise. I'm wondering whether he's coming early!
Man this is all so confusing. I've been suffering with swollen fingers, and headaches almost every day too- suppose thats got them a bit concerned. I must admit, all the midwives have been so lovely!
