Any moms awake at this hour? I’ve been really starting to feel the isolation from having my baby these last 6-12 months.

Induction due to preeclampsia

Hi ladies! So I’m 33 + 5 and I’m currently spiralling with panic!! I’ve recently (in the past 2 weeks) had high blood pressure readings at home and went to triage a few times but it typically levelled out. Last time I went to triage earlier this week, they ended up prescribing labetalol.

at the same time, we’d been having our growth scans and baby girl was always on the small side, she was steadily sitting around 13th percentile but then went down to 9th so had to have 2 weekly growth scans.

At the most recent growth scan this week, they said she’s actually dropped some more and is now 2nd percentile. They also did the placental growth factor where they took bloods and they came out slightly lower so consultant suggested they will just treat me as having preeclampsia despite my urine being clean and only having headaches but no other symptoms! I’m now being told that if she doesn’t pick up weight by the next scan then they would not feel
Comfortable letting me go past 37 + 6 weeks so I’d likely need to be induced.

I really don’t know how to feel about this, especially where I had a whole birth plan etc but equally I want whatever’s safest for baby girl! Anyone been through anything similar and can offer comfort?

Please tell me I’m not the only one 😭

Are there any other mamas who are genuinely pissed off at their husband for barely helping at night??? He tries, so I feel so bad … but I’m EXHAUSTED!!!!!!!!! I’m on ALL the time and I start work next month, so I’m freaking out.

Induction at 37 weeks

My doctor told me I will have to be induced at 37 weeks. What should I do to prepare for labor ? Worried because I had hoped for a birth without intervention.
