🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ I was diagnosed with gestational hypertension at 27-28 weeks and am being closely monitored for preeclampsia. I have a blood pressure cuff at home and am supposed to take my BP a few times a day and call the doctor if it gets too high. I’m being seen by the doctor twice a week and getting weekly blood and urine tests. Also doing weekly ultrasounds and no stress tests to make sure baby is okay. The plan is to be induced at 37 weeks and if things get worse it could get pushed to 34 weeks. My blood pressure has spiked twice and I’ve had to go to the hospital for extra monitoring, but my blood work and urine protein levels have mostly stayed stable so haven’t needed to be hospitalized long term for monitoring or anything. It was pretty stressful and scary at first, but now it’s just gotten annoying for me to go to the doctor so often (but I’m also having a bad week & just generally annoyed/sad that this is causing other things I’ve had planned to get cancelled and not go how I wanted)

Baby movements

So I’m now officially 22 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and I’m still yet to feel him move. I had my 20 week scan not last week but the week before and everything seemed fine but have a repeat scan tomorrow due to not getting a proper measurement of his face. I’ve been told I have an anterior placenta too. Should I start getting worried yet ?? With my first baby my placenta was at the back and I felt him move around the 20 week mark. I’m just really paranoid as I have fertility issues as it is and have had miscarriages in the past and I’m classed as a high risk pregnancy with this one as I have strep B and I had gestational hypertension and pre eclampsia with my first baby so I’m on shared care with this pregnancy and I’m also on aspirin too which was prescribed by the hospital to take to prevent with this pregnancy.

Is everyone just done now and ready for baby or not there yet?

If you’ve had enough and ready how far along are you?

I’m 37 weeks and starting to get more uncomfortable but enjoying it generally not at the end of my tether yet but I fear it may be just around the corner according to everyone else? Haha

FTM
