I don't know how much more I can take.
Growth Restriction and a badly working placenta were stressful enough. I'm 31 weeks today and have my big scan at 34 weeks/decision time re: induction.
Bub and I didn't do well at my last scan and she was starting to show signs of IUGR and blood flow through my placenta was not good.
To top it all off at my latest appointment today I am now on high watch for pre-eclampsia - I'm starting to show signs (blood pressure higher than normal, headaches, pain below my ribs etc.) - and excess amniotic fluid which puts me at high risk for postpartum bleeding - which is already an issue coz my iron levels are very low and I've already had some bleeding. Plus everything else that comes with excess fluid...higher chance of cord prolapse, placenta abruption and health issues for bub etc. I'm also not a candidate for draining the excess fluid because I have an irritable uterus and the last time they put a needle into it I went into preterm labour.
I know that it will be over soon. One way or another. Ultimately I just want my baby to be ok. I hate hearing about how much damage my body could be doing to her. Or how much this pregnancy is also affecting my health.
I really just want us both to be ok.
