Today I had my 38/39 Week Appointment. Although it started off scary, it ended well. When I got in they took my blood pressure and said it was 140/98....wayyyyyyy high! Last Wednesday it was 120/80. They took it a billion more times with same result. So the nurse said she'd let me sit and said she'd take it again after I met with the midwife. Well the midwife came in and all I could think about was the BP issue! I knew if I had developed Pre-Eclampsia that I would need to be induced...maybe even that night! As usual...the midwife was cool as a cucumber and did all the regular stuff. She took my fundal height which was 38 inches (38 weeks), my weight...which is officially up to 14 pounds, the heartbeart (130 bpm), and felt her position which is still head down and pretty low she says! Then she herself took my blood pressure 3 times and got 118/78 three times. She said there wasn't any protein in my urine either, which accompanies high blood pressure when you have pre-e.
My next appointment is a week from today (Monday!)
