High BP 3rd trimester

Went in for my 30wk apt and my blood pressure was 134/73 which is high for me I’m usually low BP. Also told her I’ve been having headaches and shortness of breath lately. my doc said she will monitor it at next apt but nothing else needs to be done now. Should I be worried?

Also my doc office doesn’t test urine at every apt, I’ve heard some do to check for protein in urine. Should I request to have them do that?

Are doctors /nurses supposed to ask?

Hey canadian moms... i have a question.... ever since my first birth i always felt like my lady bits looked a little different. Not bad per se but it feels like i had a cut and am not even aware of ut? You know that cut they do that starts with e? I did have epidural at the time so if they did cut i didnt feel it. Are they not supposed to ask me if im ok with it? This was back in 2012. I have no idea if Humber River even keeps records of it. I dont think it was done with my second birth since i dont see no visible difference but ... its kinda upsetting they do stuff without asking or telling us? I was so young and naive at the time so i would have probably caved in anyway but still. I fee like these hospitals
Rush births and it stresses mom and baby more.

Third trimester worries!

I got quite lucky and the 1st and 2nd trimester felt like a breeze for me. This 3rd one is testing me. Naturally I feel more exhausted and tired... However, I'm constantly worrying.. I've suffered with depression in the past and I'm terrified it will come back just as bad! Does anyone else feel like this?

Anxious

Hoping someone has been through something similar or can just ease my anxiety around my second C section. I'm due my second child in July and will be having another elective C section, my first pregnancy was absolutely perfect and I loved my section but this pregnancy has been the complete opposite and I've got low iron and blood pressure which has made me feel really anxious about having another C section. I know it'll likely all be ok but I'm just so so anxious this time round 😭

Is it worth getting a pregnancy ball?

I like the idea of using it but also just think it will be staying in the middle of my living room being not pretty and slightly annoying 😅
