I'm 31+4 and had my 31 week midwife appointment today. Trace of protein in urine, and bp raised. Also mentioned i've been having headaches last couple weeks.
Midwife not concerned as bp still within normal limits - but i normally have a low bp. (highest bp i've ever had before is 120/74. Today was 130/82) She just told me to contact hospital if i feel unwell, otherwise see how things are in 3 weeks. I asked what i should be looking out for and she just said any change in babies movements or i feel unwell.
So went on nhs website and looked up pre-eclampsia. Headaches is on list of symptoms. As is pain below ribs, and flashing lights in vision - both of which i have.
Obviously this is concerning to me, but not to her! What would you do?
