Another Day, Another Doctor

As predicted yesterday brought about a different doctor on duty, with yet another set of ideas.

My blood pressure was still continuing to rise, which in itself I thought would be a cause for concern seeing I am now on medication for my blood pressure. He didn't seem to worried about this.

There was a fantastic midwife on duty, she was just lovely.
She took the time to explain the CTG monitoring and the graphs that this produces, I now have a much greater understanding on the reasons behind CTG monitoring and what they look for etc.
Bubs was of course absolutely perfect, doing all the right things. The midwife, Kathy her name was, photocopied the trace and gave me a copy to keep for my records/keepsake. I thought this was just lovely, not necessary of her, but something I am really happy to have for bubs records.

I am currently doing a 24 hour urine collection, which finishes at 11:40am today. I then have to take that into the hospital and also have my blood pressure checked.
If my bp is in the vicinity that it has been in, I will be allowed to go home, if it has risen at all I will be kept in for monitoring.

Then it's back to the hospital tomorrow for my antenatal appointment and goodness knows what that may bring! I am finding it increasingly frustrating seeing different doctors.
On Monday I was told they are aiming to get me to 37 weeks, however the doctor yesterday implied that he would be happy for me to continue on to term, grrr I wish they would stick with one plan.

More than anything I just want my baby here safe and sound in my arms.

36 weeks today, so in a maximum of 4 weeks, our baby will be here, our little family will be complete, so exciting!!!
