You need to call your midwife. I am not a medic but it could be pre-eclampsia.

It definitely needs to be monitored - MW is probably good idea but there are also lots of other explanations for your syptoms.

have you been seeing the midwife regularly? What was your last urine sample like, did it have protine in it?

can you arrange to see the midwife again just to go over things?

I had protein in my urine sample as well as high blood pressure and blurry vision etc. The protein was apparently down to a water infection. But I did have to go to the hospital and be monitored quite closely for a while and was signed off work with it.
