No meds yet but it does come down to 140/85 or so after a rest. I'm so dreading being put on meds or taken in for rest :sad: I'm having enough trouble sleeping in my own bed, god knows what state I will be in surrounded by snoring ladies and being prodded by midwives all night :sad:

MBM x

grrr, just used my wrist monitor again 148/103 :sad: my pulse is 104 aswell so that is another naughty number

I'm making a concious effort to relax!

Put the monitor down, get your feet up and don't move for 30 mins, then take your BP. If it's still high, then call. That's the advice I have been given. Unless you have any other symptoms (headache, severe pain in the abdomen, flashing lights) in which case call them now.

Hey Triggles. Good luck! I'm your new due date buddy! My little chap was due on 20th, But has not made an appearance yet (although i am getting mild contractions today) I've been asked to go to the labour ward tomorrow morning for induction :j (My dad's over the moon! It's his 50th birthday tomorrow aswell )

I hope you have a short and pain free labour

Niknak x

Grab OH for a wee dod and hopefully you won't need the induction

I've decided that since I'm getting the surestart cash tomorrow, DH is getting a dod tonight even if I have to restrain him (which I will). :rotfl:

Triggles

Tia - LOL !!! We've been trying everything (including sex) all week to get this baby to make an appearance prior to the induction and he's stubborn!

Niknaknoo - Yay! So we'll both be hopefully in labour tomorrow! I've told MIL & DH that ideally, the meds will work first try, I'll have the baby by mid-afternoon (vaginally, not c/s) and paediatrician will see baby just after that, and then I can be home in time for tea. LOL They both just laughed and rolled their eyes at me! Seem to think I'm being a bit optimistic - I say it's just positive thinking LOL
Best of luck to you!!

Hi everyone!

I have a new kitten! Welcome Jools


He's currently having a nosy around the flat.

SIL had to give him to us as her baby keeps grabbing at his ears/tail/etc.

OOh im so excited x

Kavinam

aww he is so cute evansangel, looks just like my kitten/cat (will be 1 2morrow) henry. he has currently moved in to my mum house tho cause she is so paranoid about me being near animals when preg. she took my cat, dog and rabbit. lol

Ohh, good luck niknak and Triggles. TWO babies tomorrow - we're spoiled! Painless speedy labour vibes all around.

Lower BP vibes to Tia and MBM, good blood vibes to Glam, aless and all the other ladies with GD and generalised good feelings to all. I'm still mostly asleep but my empty stomach, full bladder and noisy husband drove my butt out of bed. Should I request oven chips, eggs and sausages or have the last fast food of the pregnancy? It's a tough one.

8 sleeps till induction assessment. I'll cry if they don't do it, seriously.

Should I start taking calcium now? I need more EPO (which hasn't been giving me the runs, cos I've still got it after not taking it for 5 days) and must remember and drink my 3 mugs of RLT (tea bag left in till it's drained, happily, I quite enjoy it).

Lil lady has hicups, right above my pubic bone.

I plan to start takin one dose of calcium as soon as I get it and then more when I go into labour.

I'll see if the o'wise one Weezl is about

hiya girls
just stopping by to say hello and to check if nms has came over yet!
been walkin about all day trying to evict this bubba, but it doesnt seem to be happeneing. i think the best thing for me to do is concentrate on fridays hospital appointment and wait to see what date they give me for induction. then bubba might want to surprise me and come earlier than what i thought....!!?!???
i havent been taking any RLT, EPO or doing any perineum massage - tyring to get OH to have some fun with me is a chore in itself. he just cant get his round it as his view is " that is full grown ready to live baby in ur belly and im gonna poke at it and annoy it - im not gonna do that when its sleeping in its moses basket, so i dont wanna do it now!" i understand where he is coming from, but i want to do it.!!!! lol

got-it-spend-it

Cute kitten EA!

Well Harry Potter was good, but very long! I'd probably rather have spent the three hours sleeping, to be honest!

How you feeling now Glam?
