I’m 39 plus 5 today and my waters broke last night! Got it checked at triage overnight and have been told to come home and see if I start contractions today. If not, I’ll be back in tonight for an induction! Eek! Currently having mild pains and hoping it ramps up so I don’t have to be induced.

Hi girls, new here! Im 31+2 and after some advice or if anyone has been through something similar...
I visited my midwife 3 weeks ago and my BP was raised, she admitted me for monitoring and they noticed reduced movements and protein was seen in my urine. I have been having headaches, so they've diagnosed pre-eclampsia, I am being monitored every week. - So far my protein levels have increased, but BP has been ok (of normal level). I have an app at Liverpool Women's (surprisingly) with a consultant on Fri morn. - I know nothing about this app being made.
I went for my BP monitoring this morning and they said the levels of protein in my water are concerning, along with my other symptoms, itchy blotchy skin, increased urination, frothy urine, constantly thirsty to the point i drink more than a fish, weight loss and tiredness. They said although some symptoms are the same as in pregnancy some are not., which could show for an underlying condition and that it has caused the pre-eclampsia. They said it could show a problem with my kidneys not working properly anymore. I have had kidney stones on the past, so my kidneys I guess aren't in the best condition (this is me assuming they aren't through endless amount of liptotripscy, and passing stones haha), but I have came home and had a google and terrified myself.
Has anyone been through anything similar, thanks in advance!

I haven’t been through this but just wanted to 🩷 it’s bad enough having a health scare when not pregnant but I know how it is when you have so much worry over the baby as well!
in my experience (in my job not personally) a lot of kidney damage (which can be and is quite common!!) is easily controlled with medications and dietary changes. I know it’s so easy to read the worst case scenario/most harsh treatments online and get into a panic but there are a lot of “levels” of kidney issues (if they do confirm that’s what it is) so please try not to panic
I've got a subchronic haematoma, found on scan.
Anyone have experience of this at all?

I had one confirmed with my first baby but I think it was fairly small. They said I might experience some bleeding with it but I didn’t have any at all.
I've not had any bleeding thus far either but been told its fairly large so to expect a bleed. I'm 8 weeks now.
I don’t know how people enjoy nesting 
started deep cleaning the house at half 10 because of the mouse and only just finished at half 2 and I feel like I could die. That’s me out for the next few days 
Only found a few droppings and absolutely nothing in the kitchen so fingers crossed it’s just come in for a bit of shelter from the rain and it’s not here to stay

I’ve had quite a few - baby is fine and they don’t even usually tell you if you have one so they don’t panic you as they’re nothing to worry about a lot of the time. They only told me because I had bleeding from them and realised myself that my scans looked different to the previous week
I’ve had one with both pregnancies. In my first I didn’t know about it until I had a horrendous bleed at 9 weeks. In this one I asked during my scan because I wanted a heads up if I was likely to experience bleeding, but I haven’t so far (15+5).
yes I only found out with my first that I’d got one from a scan at window to the womb and when I went to my nhs scan I asked about it and they said that wtw shouldn’t have even mentioned it and scared me with that 🥲
Ahhh I thought we’d finally had our little boys name (feel like it took a while) but OH has said he’d noticed someone he went to school with on FB used it for their little boy - who is now 6months - and he’s now seeing the name used everywhere else and not sure how much he likes it now it’s not even that common of a name I don’t think !!
but think it’s back to going through 100s of names to find one we both like again 🫠
He said we could still use it but I know if it were me it would bother me forever if I wasn’t sure about the name anymore. I’d rather we both like it and be happy than one of us just settling to keep the other happy !
are names really this big of a deal

Also really struggling with boy names! As soon as I think we’ve found the one, something changes my mind!

Also a struggle with boys names here! So far narrowed down to Asher, Levi or Akiva.

If you give your local early pregnancy unit a ring and let them know (if it wasn’t them who found it). Mine had me in every time I bled purely for reassurance, I just gave them a call and they had me in within a day or two and were always really understanding and lovely about it x
Things that have annoyed me about my Husband today:
- the way he was standing
- the way he said Tuesday
- the way he was talking to the cat
I hate being this irrationally annoyed by him
I feel like a monster.

Is there any magic cure (optimistic I know) for constantly feeling hungry? I’ll eat but it doesn’t get rid of the hunger - I suppose from when I was poorly in the first trimester that now my body is trying to catch up maybe? I mean I guess I can take this over the sickness but it’s soo frustrating
I would say just listen to your body and eat, it's only temporary. If you're not sick anymore then you can select your snacks wiser and not eat only trash, but if your body needs it then eat. I also felt bad because I was getting hungry at 2am but if I didn't eat I started feeling sick and couldn't sleep and it was not worth it. And it passed in a couple of weeks anyway.

I hate being this irrationally annoyed by him
-I used to hate the smell of him,
-The way he closed the doors in the house,
-I would regularly ask if he had brushed his teeth because I was convinced he hadn't when I look at his mouth
I just honestly thought he gave me the absolute ick !
I'm over it now though and I like him a bit again
Now I’m way along in pregnancy I’m obsessed with my partner I need him around all the time I get upset when he needs to go to work. This only started at maybe 30 weeks mind so maybe it’s just a natural thing the closer I get to due date.
We are really lucky he gets 4 months full paid paternity leave and I just cannot wait til he stops work🥲

🥲Thank you to all who replied.
I was scanned last week by epu due to hyperemesis and NHS procedure in case it was twins, just 1 thankfully.
The sonographer didn't tell me though just said congratulations it looks OK but was told to go straight to epu for my report but didn't think anything of it, thought it was because I'm in and out on a drip there presently, but consultant had printed a handout on sch but didn't really say anything other than it's not normal but not abnormal either.
Thank you for all your replies xx
