37w, possible induction

I have been having more leg swelling and today my bp was up slightly to 124/80 from usually in the 100-110s/70 range. The nurse said still normal. MFM said putting that with my leg swelling is concerning, but not alarming. I have no protein in my urine and Monkey's hb is good. I go back next week and if my swelling continues and bp is up and/or I have protein in my urine I will be induced that week!!! If not, MFM said induction for the week after next. He said at max I have 13 more days and he will not let me go longer than that. We hadn't been talking induction before so I was shocked! I am having a tough time getting my head around the fact that Monkey might be here as early as next week. OMG! What matters, of course, is getting him here safely, but wow!!! I told DH he should get his bag packed this weekend and we should be ready to go on Wednesday just in case.

Oh my goodness! Wow, he'll be here so soon! Packing your bags is a good idea. I had some swelling and blood pressure issues with my youngest too. I went in for my regular appointment and ended up in labor and delivery a few hours later being induced. You just never know what will happen! Keep us posted on how things are going and how you are feeling. Keeping you in my thoughts!
