Maybe an August baby?

So I’ve been having problems for the past 2 weeks, I had an appointment yesterday and I had to retake my glucose test for the 3 hour one because the baby is big and I have a lot of amniotic fluid and I get the results back tomorrow or Monday and I’m a little worried cause they also said my blood pressure was high and I had protein in my urine and I’ve been having headaches for the past week when I wake up and I’ve been seeing spots in my vision, not all time, only when I’m tired and the swelling gets really bad in my hands when I wake up and my face feels puffy like it’s swollen but I can’t tell, and they gave me a jug to pee in for 24 hours before my next appointment to test for preeclampsia and my appointment isn’t till the 9th and they told me if I have preeclampsia I’ll have to be induced or c section at 37 weeks and I’ll be 37 weeks a week after the 9th and I’m worried about having this and gestational diabetes, and I think I do have preeclampsia cause it explains why I feel the way I do and I feel like it gets worse everyday and idk if I can wait till the 9th I’m just so worried that if I have it then me waiting is gonna cause worse problems cause it’s not being treated right now (if I have it) and I’m not sure if the ER can confirm if I have it if I go up there, also when you have gestational diabetes your 4 times more likely to get preeclampsia, like I said I don’t know if I have gestational diabetes yet but if I have both and both are not being treated for at 34 weeks then I feel like it could become a problem quickly, I guess what I’m asking is if I should go to the hospital or just wait, idk I’m really worried especially because I sometimes get pains in my stomach and I think that has to do with preeclampsia cause they said under your rib on the right said and it’s not right under but it is my right side but he’s still active and last night I was having contractions 5-10 mins apart for an hour and then they just eased up and started being longer than 5-10 mins and eventually went away with rest, I also think I’ve dropped cause I pee so much like a million times a night and it used to not be that way

I have gd and it’s not that bad I also get headaches but they haven’t tested me for pre e Either way they’re inducing me at 37 weeks for the gd so I too will have an august baby. Funny enough he’ll be born the day after my sister in law and father in laws birthday. I hope everything goes well for you. Since the start of my pregnancy I would repeat healthy happy safe over and over again to try to manifest a healthy happy safe pregnancy and baby. You got this. It’s almost over!

It’s looking that way for me as well, I think I will be getting induced based on my NP consulting my MD and asking my to come back Monday

Yeah I might have to have my baby at 37 weeks and 2 days due to a previous surgery I had.
