High blood pressure

I’ve had pre e with 3/4 of my kids. They are obviously watching me close this time around. I went to L&D about 3 weeks ago for it being really high. Got there it went down but they did keep me overnight. I’ve been monitoring my bp at home for a couple months now. Took my afternoon reading and was 190/80. I relaxed and wait 10-15 min to retake and was 152/75. I’m scared I will be having pre e again this time around.

Sorry girl but you probably have pre eclampsia! I would call the on call doctor and let them know you BP is that high or just go to L and D to be safe, you could have a stroke with a reading like that. I got a magnesium drip when mine was that high.

She’s here, just over a week early!
Baby girl arrived 25th of March, I was due on 2nd of April🩷

A special thanks to clary sage oil and pumping colostrum, which I think started labour off, waters broke in the middle of the night 😳

And for all the Mamma’s expecting their second wondering if and how they will love their second the same as their first. You do, your heart doubles in size 🥰and use the sadness and anxiety you feel about leaving your first as your strength and power to get through💪🏼

You have got this, good luck all❤️

Part-time working

I’m due to go back to work soon and need to pick my part time days. I’m torn between working Monday-Tuesday or Tuesday-Thursday? Anyone have any experience working these patterns, I’m struggling to decide! I’m a teacher so I also get the half terms!
