Really? I can whinge here?
I have increased amniotic fluid. That's not good. The baby is lying oblique because the fibroid is mostly blocking the cervix. That's not good. Because of both of those, I am at increased risk of cord prolapse if my waters break. That's really not good. I am having a c-section in 4 weeks time. That's actually okay. It will be a complicated operation with a classical (vertical) incision and am at increased risk of needing a blood transfusion. That's not good. I am probably going to be admitted to the antenatal ward in 2.5 weeks time for monitoring up until the c-section, in case of cord prolapse. That sucks, especially because I'll have to eat NHS food for a fortnight.

Oh, and my blood pressure is up. That's not good but it's not fucking surprising.

You see?
I'm not so unlucky after all...

Sorry to hear you are not doing well. At least you're in a country where you get quite a good medical service and they found out and are going to monitor you.

I'm sure you'll get someone to bring you nice food. If you give us the address we can send you unhealthy take aways :)

That was my friend's response: "at least you're in a developed country".
Very true. The sort of developed country that has delicatessens.
I am drawing up menu plans now.

Also, imagine how much you'd be paying in a developed country like the US.

That's the spirit
I'm sure it'll be fine. It's a bit scary (mainly because of the crap food) but you'll look at all this in a few years and laugh (or not)
