I'm off to hospital! **UPDATE- I'm home again!*

[ERIN84]

Just been to midwife and my blood pressure is high She done it on the machine and it came out 144/97 then manually and it was 140/98.
She felt round bubs and said that head is tucked into my pelvis nicely and done another manual reading that came out 148/106!! EEK!
I have got to be at hospital for 5pm and my mw says that if my BP is still high they will either medicate me for it or try and start off delivery!
IM SCARED!


Thanks for you good luck wishes everyone but I'm home again!

Blood pressure was reading 135/102 at hospital but baby was happy and the Dr said that because my urine was clear they were going to let me go home and see me again on Friday! They have taken bloods and are going to ring me with the results tommorow.

The last thing I wanted was to stay in overnight but I really had mentally prepared myself for maybe being induced as thats what the mw basically told me to expect. I'm a little disspaointed to be honest as I was excited at the thought of meeting bubs a bit earlier. On the other hand, I want everything to be as natural a poss.
