EDD

So here we are EDD! :) yay! bubby made it!

Last night I did a urine dipstick test and unfortunately the protein in my urine has gone up a bit.  It went up to the next green colour! my BP was also up a bit this morning to 140/88 not quite the 140/90 the Dr mentioned but getting close.  I am thinking this will change tomorrow's agenda from seeing if I progress on my own to getting bub out. I don't want to force things but pre-eclampsia scares the crap out of me and I just want my baby to be safe!

I just retested my BP and it had dropped slightly to 135/85 but protein was still up! I emailed Dr A to give him the heads up, I am figuring as I go in tomorrow morning at 7am everything should be OK, but I still wanted to check, pre-eclampsia isn't something to take lightly.

Bub is still moving but of course a lot less than normal and this is always scary too.  I know its simply because it has no room but its such a change from the movements from a couple of weeks ago.

I am doing a final clean of the house today, it shouldn't take long as I did a big clean on Wednesday.

MIL should arrive tonight at about 9pm.  She is staying for at least a week I think which is OK. I spend 4 days in hospital and I have asked that my first night home just be with DH, bub and myself.  There is other family here she can stay with that night or she can stay at my mums which is less than 5 mins drive away.

I am nervous about tomorrow.  I have no idea what to expect. I am worried about being induced and how fast that may push my into labour. I have heard the contractions come on a lot faster and stronger when you are induced. I am also worried that it may end up in a csection. At the same time I know it needs to be done and the safety of my baby is the most important thing here. So what ever is needed I will do it.

I have to spend the first part of the day on my own.  I am a little nervous about this too.  DH has to finish off a job which will probably take around 4 hours.  I am not expecting to progress fast or anything but it still scares me to be on my own. It also worries me that perhaps I will progress quickly and what if he doesn't make it back.  It will probably take him an hour to get from the job, drop of his work truck and trailer off and pick up my car and get to the hospital.

Crossing my fingers that it all works out! :)
