By the end (39 weeks) I was a whale. I'm not kidding! My hands, feet, face, legs, arms and tummy were all swelling up. My darling hubby even dubbed my feet "granny feet". I only had one pair of shoes that fit by the end as they grew with me! And those slippers I packed for the hospital were completely useless!
On a serious note it is important to keep control of your own healthcare especially in pregnancy. Had I not called for results regarding a urine culture I would not have been taken in for induction. As the culture results had been negative for a UTI the hospital did not contact me. However, the fact that the protein present was not an infection, and I had a lot of swelling and high blood pressure, was a bad sign and should have sent alarm bells ringing.
The actual birth weekend (yes, weekend) I'll leave for another post!
