Today's dr appointment was a lot faster than my recent visits, only 15mins. My bp was measured and was down on past weeks which Booker was very pleased with. It is still high, but not as high. He wants to play it safe and so I will be back again on Friday to get it checked again. He felt Bubble and it is still facing the right way. He put the heart monitor on it to listen to the heartbeat and at the end Bubble kicked it off which we laughed at. Clearly it didn't like be disturbed today. He also commented that he might induce me now so that my stretch marks don't get worse - not funny! I was doing so well until a couple of weeks ago too and now there are heaps.
He was very happy with everything today but did mention that next week we will have a chat about labour. Basically once Bubble reaches full term there is no harm in helping it come along. He is worried about me though as I'm on medication and how my bp has moved up and down. He doesn't think anything will go wrong, but the longer Bubble stays in, the greater risk there is with by blood pressure and the effects of that being high. So next week we will talk about inducing options and what the best option would be. Basically I am happy to trust his advice - he isn't normally keen on inducing so for him to consider it, it must be important. It does mean there is a big chance that in just over 2 weeks James and I will meet Bubble. I have heard that it isn't as good for my body to get induced, as it isn't happening naturally, so if Bubble could help it start naturally in the next couple of weeks, that would be great, but we will see what happens.
Hope that makes sense. Otherwise, all is good :-) I'm starting to get used to this resting thing.
