Newbie this late I went from original due date of May 13th to May 19th. And I just found out…

Why would they induce you with high blood pressure? That only lead to me getting a c section with my son because of my blood pressure getting high when they induce me!

Welcome! I'm due the 22nd, but doctor thinks I will likely be overdue. I have hardly any symptoms and baby girl is perfectly high and cozy in there lol

Good luck with the blood pressure! I had problems with it early on, but I noticed if I keep my stress levels down and control my salt/caffiene intake its not too bad.

I'm sure ill be around at the end with ya :P

Because they're afraid of it getting worse and I'll have preeclampsia later on. The way I understand it, it's safer for the baby and I to be induced earlier. And I agree.

Thank you :)

My baby has had me ready to have him for a long time. I mean of course I want him to cook in there as long as he should/needs but this pregnancy has not been easy for me. I am ready to have my body back.

I'm thinking it's all stress because I don't even really like salt. Plus, growing up in a household that everyone had to watch their salt intake taught me how. And I'm not much of a caffeine drinker besides coffee and I've only had that about a dozen times this pregnancy. I'm just watching what I stress out for. I'm steering away from my stressors. Sucks for some people that are close to me but this is what I've gotta do to keep us healthy.

Ps either way the 22nd is pretty dang close ?

Welcome... Stop stressing out, everything will be fine! I also have high blood pressure, major swelling from my knees downwards and my hands, i black out from the blood pressure every day, I live in the UK so I think it's different rules here but I'm now 40+4 and doing fine :) good luck!
