I have had issues with my blood pressure since close to 36 weeks, no signs of pre-e but pretty high blood pressure. They put me on blood pressure medicine and it is still running 160/98 and decided to induce me on Wednesday! Wish me luck ladies because I am super nervous about delivery. For some reason my head has blocked out the truth of what happens to deliver a baby and now that it is that time I am freaking out. Pregnancy feels so long I just never thought of delivering her... Crazy I know. I am very excited yet a ball of nerves!
Good luck! You aren't alone as the same thing happened to me and happened so quickly I didn't have time to blink or mentally prepare, but I promise it will be the best thing in the whole world!
Good luck to you! It is daunting to think about the practicalities of the birth process, but know that in the moment, you will be able to do what you need to do.
I have chronic blood pressure that I've had since the birth of my last son that is controlled by meds. Last time before I was on meds my bp spiked and I was induced at 39.5 weeks this time as a precaution I am being induced at 38.5 weeks which is next weds!! I'm nervous too! But last birth was long and had an epidural but honestly didn't have much pain just pressure!
