Congrats on 38 weeks! Amazing! How was your appointment on Thursday?
Not to be a Debbie Downer, but
please be sure they keep an eye on you after delivery for HELLP and preeclampsia. That is a very dangerous blood pressure. I was having high blood pressure toward the end, but it was after delivery that everything went downhill very fast. They missed the pre-e and I ended up having kidney failure and was in the ICU for 3 days. Everyone thought I was just really tired from delivery and not sleeping, but it was much worse. When I first felt really sick and my BP was high after delivery, I even had a nurse say that you can't get pre-e after delivery, that it "cures" it. Have your family keep an eye on you, too. Tell them the signs: pain under your ribs, blurry vision, seeing spots, bad headaches, bleeding gums, and swelling.
Keep us posted!
