37 weeks check-up


I had an appointment with Dr. MacArthur today and my blood pressure is still high, 146/90. The baby's heart beat was down to 132bpm but the doctor thinks she was probably just sleeping and he doesn't seem worried. Her head is really low and I'm dilated 2cm already so he said that I should come back in on Thursday to be checked again and if my blood pressure has gone up again they'll induce me. I'm really hoping that either a) my blood pressure goes down or at least stays the same, or b) I go into labour on my own before then. I'm not too keen on being induced. I prefer to let nature take it's course. I'm ready though for whatever. The nursery is ready to go, not pretty yet, but functional, and lord knows my body is ready to get back to normal. Won't be long now!
