I feel weepy and tired and so sore.
Baby wont settle, I guess my meltdown on Monday saw to it being all calm and ready to come out.
Midwife appt yesterday had me measuring on form and baby's heartbeat was fine. My BP was up on previous visits but still not bad considering I expected it to be off the chart!
Hands and feet are swollen though and there was traces of blood and protein in my urine so they are monitoring things and have sent samples away, I'll get a phonecall if there is any cause for concern.
Bloods also drawn to check Iron levels.
Sat in the nursery (which is all finished by the way) and wept yesterday morning. I just felt so hormonal and useless and the whole work computer debacle on Monday just threw me for a loop.
I'm exhuasted now and fed up with work shite. I still feel in a blind panic about all that should have or could have been done and I am so so angry that no proper maternity cover was organised in my place so I could at least walk away and feel more relaxed about it all.
The Boss is in shitty form because he's realised he will have to do some F*****g work now for the next 4 months and he's in a panic at the thought of me finishing up on Friday.
I didn't want to feel like this towards then end, I have been so healthy and happy throughout and now it feels like everything is falling apart around me.
Mum assures me this is perfectly normal for this stage and birth being imminent, she cried all the time in the last few weeks and fell out with everyone over nothing so she said on the positive side take it as a sign things are moving on for labour.
Joy.
