okay, so i’m 39 weeks, 1 day… i was having some signs of impending labor a week ago, but they’ve all stopped (since i got a pre-eclampsia scare–high BP, proteins, swelling for a couple days…) so i’m concerned that i’m not going to go into labor on my own in the next 6 days… and i’m exhausted! i’m recovering from Bell’s Palsy (compression of facial nerve causing paralysis) which sorta hurts as the nerve “reconnects”… i’ve got BAD pitting edema (my ankles & feet have been swollen HARD for months & feel bruised)… i’m anemic (prenatals aren’t helping that much, i’m fully drained)…

i’m thinking of taking off from work at the end of this week (my due date) but my midwife won’t usually induce until 41 weeks… if i haven’t deliveredy by then i will take it, but i was wondering… should i try & talk them into inducing me a little earlier?
i’m not officially “pre-eclampsic”… i’m just showing signs of developing it… (i’m pre- pre-eclampsic)
i’m on evening primrose oil & have been trying to do all the natural things to get things started (though i can’t manage to walk very long, i’m so tired!) but things seem to have stopped… it was looking good last week, then all the complications started showing up
oh, the baby is on the big side–already over 8 lbs they estimate…

but i’ve not had any internal exams done (due to GBS+), so i don’t know the condition of my cervix. i do know baby is head down & dropped, but she wasn’t fully engaged at the last appointment (almost a week ago)

Well, I’ve had BP since December of 03′, so I think it’s going to take longer than 4-6 weeks.

Help with Anxiety

I was diagnosed with a light case of BP for almost 6 weeks now and i still have a light ringing in my ear (very light) and an incomplete blink. I’ve noticed that Im able to move my eyelid more and quicker but when I naturally blink I see that its still have way but people keep telling me that Im blinking normally…how do I know for sure that I got my blink back and its just not me overreacting after this traumatic experience???? and i dont want to go to the eye doctor again…..

Help with Angina

The doctor said I only had a mild case. I can blink both my eyes, but the side that has it is less as strong. I cant really move my eyebrow well either or my lip. I was just diagnosed with BP yesterday, and they have given me Steroids. Im going on this cruise in August and really wouldny like to look like this. Does anyone have a geuss of when it will go away? Also does it just go away or does it decline in severity over the days?
