"High risk pregnancy"

After finally finishing my degree, I found out I was pregnant. I was filled with many mixed emotions, worried about my future career, if I was ready, yet happiness as my partner and I have always wanted children in the future, it just happened to be a lot earlier than expected.

During the early stages of my pregnancy I found out I have high blood pressure resulting in my pregnancy becoming high risk. A term which of course made me worry. One thing I would suggest is attending a high risk antenatal class at your hospital, it really helps ease your mind by hearing other women's stories, especially those who have been induced before and that being high risk doesn't mean you are guaranteed to have a risk you will just will be monitored more.

Throughout my pregnancy my blood pressure and heart rate continued to be high until the end and I ended up being induced at 39 weeks and had a emergency c section, which is not painful at all during the operation it just hurts afterwards. Overall my experience at the Oldham hospital was great the staff were very supportive, attentive and made me feel at ease.
