High blood pressure

I just got diagnosed with pregnancy induced hypertension and been put on a double dose of meds; was planning on a birth centre birth;

triage at hospital said it should be okay but midwife is unsure I will qualify 😭

most annoying thing is I’ve been mentioning that my usually low blood pressure has been higher than normal and you could see it getting higher with every appointment but got told it’s not over the threshold; maybe if they listened it could’ve been managed earlier 😭

Has anyone qualified for the birth centre with blood pressure medication if it stabilised while on it?

Birth - high blood pressure

Did anyone here have high blood pressure throughout pregnancy? (Even before!) and what did your birth look like?

It’s something I’ve suffered with forever but is only being brought up now as I’m 20+ weeks pregnant

Period.!

When did your cycle come back if you EBF or EP?? My baby will be 5 months on the 8th and no signs of it coming back, I know I shouldn’t worry but I want another baby (my third) but my first it came back exactly at 6 weeks and not it feels like it’s never coming back 😨😅

Need some reassurance from fellow moms-to-be ❤️

I got my 1-hour gestational diabetes screening results today, and my glucose level came back at 154 mg/dL (the cutoff is 140 mg/dL). I’m currently 29 weeks pregnant and have my 3-hour glucose test coming up soon.

Has anyone else had a higher-than-normal result on the 1-hour test but gone on to pass the 3-hour test? Or been diagnosed with gestational diabetes and managed it successfully?

Trying not to worry, but I’d love to hear your experiences, advice, or words of encouragement. Thank you! 🙏💕

Ritual prenatal experience

Hi
I took ritual prenatal in my first trimester and it was very hard to take as i get nausea right after it and the pills come out as well so i moved to gummies.

But now doctor suggested me to start taking it again as my nausea got better and gummies don’t have iron.

So i am not sure how it gonna feel again.
Has anyone faced difficulty taking ritual ? How you survived?
