To me labour is like a bird flying into or through the window. You'll not miss it. It might fly out again though 😂

Expecting baby no 2!!

Just found out we are expecting baby number 2! Super excited (and nervous!)

It's super early, I'm only 3.5 weeks. We want to keep it to ourselves for a bit but I also really want to tell someone..hence this post 🤣

High blood pressure post natal

Hey ladies, just wandering if anyone had any positive stories or advice. I got admitted last Thursday 40+3 days pregnant with pregnancy induced hypertension. I was started on lebetalol and baby boy was born Friday night, discharged Sunday on medication and BP had been fine. Went for heel prick test on day 5 yesterday and BP was 151/92, has risen since so advised to come to triage this morning and now sitting around 163/99 and HR 52. Has anyone else had this? Dreading staying in hospital again as just want to be home but I know it’s best for myself and baby and my little girl. TIA x

Anyone suffered with postnatal preeclampsia?

I'm 6 days PP and ended up getting induced a day before my due date as I had protein in my urine and high bp. I've had my baby now but blood pressure is still up, I've been put on labetalol and also nifedipine as my bottom figure is still just over 100..

The anxiety I get everytime a midwife puts the cuff on is horrible every other day, it's only been six days. They wanted to keep me in for 24 hours but I said no and they added another medication. The woman told me 'you're probably going to have high blood pressure for life now' and it's just made me really depressed. Any one else experienced this? How long did it take to stabilise..
