Just looking for some advice

Ive been in and out of hospital for the past week or so, with swelling, flashing lights, ongoing headache, and a high bp that wont lower. I was put on bp tablets which they have now doubled my dosage.
Im 36 weeks and i feel as if the hospital isnt doing a lot to help, theyve booked me a scan and given me medication, but considering theyre questioning preeclampsia i feel like not much else is being done.
Does anyone have any advice on what i should do, or has anyone else been through a similar situation and it turned out to be fine? Im a first time mum and im not really sure what i should be expecting

Pregnant with second 12 months PP, pre eclampsia and IUGR with first pregnancy

My little girl turns 1 this month, this week I have found out I am pregnant (very early) this pregnancy was not planned and I am feeling very overwhelmed. I had a very traumatic pregnancy with my little girl, pre eclampsia, IUGR, born at 34 weeks weighing 3lb and requiring a month in NICU. I’m petrified this will happen again. Has anyone got any positive (or negative 😩) stories who are in/ have been in a similar situation?

Anxiety about my bump

I’m 23 weeks pregnant and I’ve been starting to worry a little about my bump and movement. I do feel the baby move, but sometimes it feels like there’s not much movement for a while and then it picks back up again. I’m also not sure if my bump looks as big as it “should” for this stage, which has me overthinking everything.

I’m a first-time mom, so honestly I don’t really know what’s normal and what’s not yet. I’m trying not to stress myself out, but it’s hard not to when you just want to make sure everything is okay.

For moms who’ve already had kids, was this normal for you around 23 weeks? Did movement come and go? And did you ever worry about your bump size? I’d really appreciate any advice or reassurance 🤍

Am I a bad mom?

I was taking my daughter out of her highchair. I took the table off and my mom asked me something so I turned my head and my baby slipped out of the highchair😭 she seems fine but I'm freaking out. Do I still take her to the doctor? There's no marks and she only cried for 10 sec but I'm having a panic attack
