Im starting to get very nervous and i dont know why. dont know if its nesting (sudden urge to catch up on the washing and ironing) or nerves kicking in. im being induced next monday and am hoping they bring it forward as im done with this pregnancy lark. my bump seems to have gone pop overnight and is HUGE and baby is still measuring big. 7lbs 8oz last week at 36+5 so god knows what its measuring today.

On one hand I want baby out so i can get on with things but on the other i think im more nervous about knowing that next monday things are being started off wether im ready or not. everything baby wise in the house is ready, just a few bits need doing like the spare bed making and our bed being changed.

I really think its the knowing that there is going to be an actual baby here within the next week thats scaring the carp out of me, DH is seriously un prepared and hasnt read any baby books or anything and seems to expect me to know it all. He seems to be thinking as well that cause im planing on breast feeding theres nothing for him to do and he can carry on the way he has been. Every night so far he has had at least 1 drink, ok thats normal for us when he is home but id have liked him to stop totally rather than be hungover to heck this morning so much so that i have to drive to hospital as he isnt safe to drive :mad: so que me being in absolute agony later on but that doesnt seem to cross his mind at all yet he knows me driving means i wont be able to move later.

i suppose really that im just needing a good moan and knowing that im not the only one feeling scared about it all.

...... Am in the scared corner with you:) but am reaching 34 wks tomorrow hope everything goes well for you on monday.

Oh sounds like he needs a kick !! :eek: a big one!!!!!

I think it seems more real now long term familiar faces are actually talking about things happening!!! But we will all be here venting as it really helps!

Have you had problems with your bp before pregnancy?

I normally have problems with mine pregnant or not-so have also had a LOT of midwife and consultant appointments, along with extra scans too.

Hopefully you'll get the balance right with the meds soon-and it'll be less worrying. Mine has been more stable during this pregnancy then my last-i think because i am more relaxed about everything.

You will find though-that if you stay on meds and your bp is monitored a lot, when you go into labour they will strap you up to the monitors to make sure you and baby are coping ok with the contractions. It's nothing to worry about though. Just let them know that you want to stay as mobile and upright as possible still-and don't let them make you lie down in bed for ages!

I'm now almost at the end of my pregnancy, but feel free to ask any questions

keely.

Thanks Keely that's really sweet. I had high bp from the age of 17, but it dropped last year, so I've been off all medication for 18 months. As soon as I fell pregnant it shot way up (160/136 was the high point when I had to speak to the mother in law, but 150/120 was standard) so I'm back on hospital care. My meds seemed to be working (only 4x 250mg Methyldopa atm as I'm asthmatic so others are ruled out) but it is creeping back up it seems, so need to watch that and work out if we need to add another tablet to the mix. Currently down to around 130/95 (up from the low of 120/80 where it lolled for a fortnight or so).

Are they still hopeful of a natural birth for you? My mum has the same bp issues, went onto hospital bed rest at 25 weeks with both of her pregnancies, and had an emergency c-section at 36 weeks, so I guess it hasn't really occurred to me that I might do this naturally.

Hi Dinah! I hope your BP doesn't play up anymore.

I just noticed that your due date is a day after mine!!!! I have my NHS week 12 scan tomorrow (well, I will be more than 12 weeks), so will see what they date me and if they change the EDD or not. Clinic put LMP as 8/9/2011, but EDD as 17/6/2012 (it doesn't add up to 280 days, and babies have been measuring ahead at my previous scans (IVF clinic).

I was going to buy a new phone for OH this Christmas. His old one is about 4-5 years old, and it has taken some battering from him. I gave him a choice between three though - not sure which one he picks out (iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S2 or Nexus Prime). Well, I asked him to let me know by tomorrow - I doubt he will!
