BP 172/99 - time to call someone?

[briggsy's girl]

ditto to what the others said - it's time to get checked! you ARE having a baby soon, you are in a situation that needs to be properly monitored. Alan wouldn't say to you to call if he didn't think it necessary - your BP has been far too high and the assessment unit need to be the ones to make judgement calls on what is right and what isn't.

at your gestation, you are technically ready to give birth - make the call!

Hubby called while I was in the shower. BP is down as I said above but they said I should go in even though I have a clinic tomorrow. So away I go again. That place is my new home. Hope they don't take more blood - they drained me 4 times over Thursday/Friday - I'll have none left! LOL.

Good.
I feel for sweetie - I felt the same at the end, but as someone who has suffered the serious negative effects of weird BPs in preg, trust me it's worth it.

Amanda, I am so glad you made the call. I am sorry if I sounded harsh in my earlier post but I was worried for you. No hard feelings I hope?

Being monitored is a pain, but they only do it if it is absolutely necessary. Take in a book and a few mags to pass the time, you will have a bubby in no time.

Glad your DH called and you are back at the hospy now. Look forward to hearing from you when you come home - even if its a BA. Better safe than sorry - this is what hospitals a for when it comes to pregnant women.

Waiting for the good news...

Hi All

All is well. I'm v tired, but fine.

BP shot up while being monitored but settled to 155/86ish eventually.

So they sent me home again.

Ah, the joys.

I want to have this baby so I never have to see that hospital again LOL.

[Pandora]

Im surprised they sent you hom when it was still 155/89, given your at full term.
