Finally back home.... My bp is up and down but my bloods were OK. But I'm boarder line anaemic so started iron tonight. Have to be checked twice weekly now and if it keeps rising then another plan to be made soon. I'm already due to have my sweeps bi daily in 17 days then induction. Let's hope I can get my iron back up. It was the first thing the midwife mentioned in clinic before she sent me to the hospital but my last two blood tests showed high levels so I wasn't worried. But they have dropped a lot for me and only just within range. So would explain why I am breathless and absolutely exhausted if I try to move about. On the spa tone and more green veg and rest more. I've become so intolerant of any form of exercise including the basics. I was sweating in the clinic from just walking in earlier. Grim! On a funny note baby was literally spinning mad on the ctg physically shoving the electrodes off her. Much to my pain. My movements averaged over 230 an hour lol. Comes up as 61 % of babies at my gestation move less than her. She's a little wriggler. And the midwife said no wonder I'm contracting With it all. Had some nice big ones in the hospital. More rest for me for the next two odd weeks and the house will have to just go to pot! I'm not super women anymore!

I know, as the midwife said , baby is fine it's my body that doesn't handle the last few weeks at all. It happens every time. Hence why hey want the baby out from 37 weeks as I've been induced twice before term due to this getting worse. And having hellp syndrome too. They were really good and didn't mess about with my history. Got bloods done urgently and wanted to get me home if they could. I need to rest more. My body doesn't function too well carrying a near full term baby plus looking after children all day. I'm ok if im on bed rest or not doing much. It came down at the hospital when I lay down only to rise a bit more once I had my daughter through and was sat up. I said to them I can't exactly not move for the next 2-3 weeks. As for my anaemia hopefully it will improve cos I honestly have felt like I've been hit by a bus of late. The palpitations etc have been awful.

@suzie80, I'm so glad that they've got down to the bottom of it and have you and baby both thoroughly checked. If rest is what's needed forget the house and other things. If there isn't a time when a pregnant woman can't rest I don't know when there is. I hope you start to feel more energised soon. X

Thanks so do I @saraelisa I really have felt rough these last few days. There's tiredness and then there's how I've been feeling.
