The end is pretty nigh!
Well, it looks like unless madam gets a move on, all attempts at avoiding surgery are proving to be futile.
My blood pressure is NOT behaving. I am well in myself, and baby is absolutely 100% fine, but the doctors are not happy with the way its creeping higher, and fast. And the numbers are already pretty nasty. So, I have two weeks for this baby to come on her own, or on the 11th she is being born surgically. Not what we wanted, but my health is being compromised now, and no-one wants this to get to an emergency situation. Thankfully my feelings on this matter are well developed, hubby and I have been making plans for after birth based on me possibly having a second section for months, when there was no sign for it being needed. Good job really.
I am resigned. If she comes on her own in the next two weeks, the team are happy for me to try for the natural birth I want. Because my body is doing its own thing and therefore there is a damned good chance of us pulling it off. They are not however happy to induce what with the previous section and all things being as they are right now. So that option is off the table. And its section for both of our safety.
Things could change. I am going for blood pressure series appointments every couple of days or so, and if things go really pear shaped before, the surgery date will be dragged forward. I am on medication to try and halt the rise and give her another 2 weeks to bake - if she wants it. She is officially a term baby on Friday, so she won't have any trouble on the outside, all confirmed by a scan this morning as well. She is in fine health, its me that's starting to crack round the edges.
So that's my news, expect to see pictures of a pink squishy thing in a fortnight!
