still here

Just so you guys dont wonder too much, i am still around, i got home from hospital last night about 7pm after spending 36 hours in there for high b/p, they have finally given me meds for it, but of course it took until i was hospitalised until they did.

I was a scary first 24hours as they talked about induction then probably just doing a c section, (even though my b/p was high, all my bloods and other tests were normal, no signs of pre eclamisa or anything).

I got really upset and told the specialist in no uncertain terms that if they had done sometime 5 wks ago when all this started then they wouldnt have put me in the position i am in now, and unless it was absouletly necessary then i wasnt having a c section, and i did not want to be induced until the middle of next week at the earliest, (as i felt they hadnt given the meds a chance to work).

Well wouldnt you know it, the meds are working so well, that all take of induction has stopped (at this stage) and i dont need to go back to the hospital until i have the baby.

Fingers crossed she comes on her own. i have a scan on monday to make sure that she is growing well but otherwise things are good again.

I am pleased i stuck to my guns or they would have just taken baby without giving me a choice.

Well done Katrina...good on you.

I have high blood pressure but funnily enough blood pressure was normal during pregnancy, however they wanted to induce me early because my BP started to go up....I said no way and Zaara came (well almost) on time when she was ready.

Here is hoping that your bub is happy and healthy and will soon join us.

good on you for speaking up kazzle!
hope everything continues to go well for you and those meds do their job

yeap im resting heaps, ppl are coming to visit me now, not the other way around, and i have said to them, if they want to visit then morning is better as by afternoon i am too tired to be bothered with anything.

so reading lots and just chilling on the couch...

Good on you! I often find Im too intimidated buydoctors to speak up. I hope if I need to I have your courage!

yeap not long now, i have had a constant achy period pain backache since yesterday afternoon, and when the midwife did some acupuncture this morning my backache increased and i had some really good strong tightenings.

fingers crossed that something happens soon so i dont have to have any intervention

ohh lots of labour vibes
