Headache since 2am and high blood pressure with light headiness

I do have anaemia as well which can explain the symptoms, but would you go to triage for this blood pressure? I’m not sure at what point you go to triage. I’m 38.2 weeks for reference, my blood pressure is usually normal 117/75 etc around that ballpark. But how can they test for pre eclampsia because I’m scared of being induced for no reason, as the BP can also be explained by other things. I might sound stupid 😅 I’ve put the first BP here and the rest in the comments. P.S. my pulse is high because I get very anxious when I get unwell

I would call triage for peace of mind. They can monitor your blood pressure over a period of time and do a urine sample and I think a blood test for pre eclampsia?

Intense pressure down below?

Hi all! Getting close now....

Just wondering if anyone has any tips - I think my girl has dropped in the past few days as I've suddenly gotten constant intense pressure down below which is painful to walk or stand up with! No other signs of anything but it's very uncomfortable!

I've tried my pregnancy belt but it didn't help 🙈

Is it just me or no one thinks of the mom

Although I appreciate all the things for my baby I’m going on 32 weeks no one’s concerned about what I need during or after delivery

Pregnancy journals are soo fun. Do you guys have a journal too?

My husband pushed me to have a pregnancy journal and got one for me.
These journals have gotten soo creative.
Low-key obsessed already. You can see the graph of my mood swings on this😂
