How close was your baby born to your actual due date?

Did you have gestational diabetes, or just high blood pressure. I know that GD can cause high blood pressure, that's why I was asking.

Hi Wife30,

They broke my water June1st at 740pm and he was born the next morning. My due date was June5th. As for my HBP, I did not have diabetes but pregnancy induced high blood pressure. When I was in the hospital after I had him, my Bp was 101/75 where as during it ranged from 130/80 to 168/99. Are you getting excited? I just can't believe how much meaning he has brought to my life! I'm just sad because my H is on leave for 23 days to go and work up north with a friend to bring home 2300$ because since I'm not working right now, we are hurting pretty bad. He will come home and visit every couple of days but it makes me sad.

I'm sure it will be hard for him to be gone, but I'm glad he will be able to make some extra money to help out. I am getting excited. I do have gestational diabetes. They have told me we will probably discuss inducing in 6 weeks, 2 weeks before my due date unless there are any other complications. It's getting closer.

Its so exciting! I was so excited about being induced because I knew WHEN I was checking into the hospital. My nurses were wonderful too! Lets pray for NO CSECTION for you! Is your STBXH going to be with you during delivery? If you don't mind me asking either, is there any chance of "recovery" between you two? I know its hard but I was just curious. Take care.

Yes Hurt my H will be there. He has still been supportive of anything to do w/ the baby and except for OW crap we get along well for the most part. I doubt that we will be able to reconcile. It just seems like there has been too much that has happened to be able to move on. We both still love each other, but I don't see that he is ready to give up OW completely. They are not seeing each other really, but still talk frequently on the phone. For the most part when they have seen each other it has been regarding OC, although there was a lunch about a week ago or more. She does want him to be w/ her and to not have anything to do w/ me except for the baby. She doesn't want him to help me w/ anything around the house, etc...I told him that was fine w/ me if he wants to be w/ her. He says he told her that I am more than just his wife, we've grown up together. He still loves me and will always love me. He said if I needed something from him, he would always be there to help me. He does not want to lose me completely and would like for us to be able to remain friends on some level. I keep trying to explain to him it will not be the same, but he doesn't seem to quite get it. So, we're still planning on filing for divorce about 2 months after the baby is born. He has been doing a lot around here in preparation.
