High risk pre-eclampsia

Hey, I’m high risk for pre-eclampsia and just wondering if anyone else is as I’m after some advice.

I had my 20wk scan today, with no consultation afterward and they didn’t do a urine sample or check my blood pressure either. During my first pregnancy I had both of these done after every scan so found this a bit odd? Due to being high risk, I’ll get extra growth scans from 32wks. My next midwife appointment is at 26wks, my last one being at 16wks. This means both my blood pressure and urine won’t have been checked between 16wks-26wks, does this seem normal to anyone else high risk? Slightly concerned as pre-eclampsia can develop from 20wks and I do already have gestational hypertension

Pop to your chemist ting around locals ones to see which ones take BP. You could also buy one and do yourself if would help with any worry xxx

I’d question it as I’m the same and have weekly BP & urine checks at the hospital, I have a midwife appointment at 24 weeks, growth scans from 28 weeks and consultant appointments afterwards. I was diagnosed with hypertension at my 20 week scan and all follow up appointments were instantly booked x

Hi Shannon. Also high risk here. I've always seen the consultant after every appointment. Had our 20 week scan on Tuesday and they said there's no consultant appointment review today. But they did check my BP and urine though. Xxx

Subchrorionic haematoma

Had out first scan today at the hospital, saw the little heartbeat and measuring 6+4🥰
We also found out I have a subchrorionic haematoma, just wondering if anyone’s else has had or has one and if so was/is everything okay? We’ve waited so long and tried so hard for this baby and just worried. Booked in for another scan in a couple weeks but just curious
I work in a kitchen so my jobs very hands on which I know won’t help🙃

20 week scan call back

Had my 20 week scan last week and was told I have a low lying placenta with lots of scar tissue from previous c section. Was told I’d need to go back at 32 weeks for scan. Just received call from hospital saying consultant has reviewed scanphotos and needs to see me next week regarding placenta. Now I am STRESSED! Any ideas why they would call me back so soon and what it could be about ??!?

Advice please… 37+5

So since 1am I’ve had slight stomach pain not terrible just you know it’s there and a loose stool🙃woke my partner up saying think baby is on way but it hasn’t progressed to being any more painful just the pain is still there. So went back to sleep the pain is still there but more of an ache than contractions! So do you guys reckon this is a stomach bug or early labour? I feel silly like I should know as this is my 3rd baby but I only went in to natural labour with my first which was nearly 10 years ago😳was induced with my second

Private room at Frimley park hospital/ park side

Hi! Has anyone stayed in a private room in park side or on the postnatal ward at FPH and know whether this is possible after a c-section? I found it really hard to relax or sleep for the 3 days I was there after having my son a few years ago because it was so noisy and busy, and would love a different experience this time 🤞🏻

C section or induction?

I’m 36 weeks pregnant with twins. Both babies weigh almost 6lbs and I’m a petite 5ft2 55kg woman - struggling to say the least!

Ive been told a VBAC isn’t advised as I’ve previously had a c section which means there’s a risk of uterine rupture so it’s best for a planned c section.

However, they’re now saying they can’t fit me in until the day before I’m 38 weeks pregnant OR they can offer me an induction next Thursday!??? This seems to be really contradictory of their advice and I’ve no idea what to do.

On the one hand I’m so uncomfortable I just want them out, I’m not sleeping. But on the other hand I don’t want a VBAC or emergency c section.

Any ideas on what to do?

Waters being broken

I am 39+6 I have come into hospital as I have had some bleeding. I am also having contractions but I am only 1cm. I have been told I won’t be leaving the hospital without my baby and the plan is they are going to break my waters and put me on the hormone drip. Has anyone had this before or had waters broken and put on the drip?
