Out of hours worried me do I call midwife?

[yummystepford]

I am 24+3 and woke up yesterday feeling unwell. I have lost my appetite, feel nauseous, have had a very had headache that hasn't gone away, have had uti symptoms. Midwife found protein and glucose in my urine 2-3 weeks ago but uti test came back fine. I feel very tired and drained and generally unwell. I went to the out of hours doctors. I had protein, white blood cells and glucose in my urine. He said I probably had a stomach bug and maybe pregnancy diabetes and to go to the gp on Monday to check for a urine infection. I'm in a lot of pain. Baby is kicking fine. I'm freaking out about white blood cells in my urine and feel that I should be checked more thoroughly with everything and to see my gp Monday feels like I'm being assumed as an over anxious mum, I feel like I should trust his judgment but he has just made me worry more. Am I being over anxious or should I call the midwife/antenatal ward :/

It's always safer just to call. It'll put your mind at ease and no one will say you are being over anxious. Especially if you're in pain!

I would call if you're worried and in pain. Yes it could and likely is just a stomach bug, but glucose is a sign of gestational diabetes and protein is a sign of pre-eclampsia. I'd say its worth getting checked out just to stop you worrying.

No not over anxious at all with those symptoms. Did they do a finger prick test to check your sugar levels? Did they check your temperature? Either way get in touch with the midwife - better to be safe than sorry.

Yes, that's why midwives are on call 24/7.

Thank you for your replies. I called the maternity triage at the hospital who told me to have a hot bath and call back an hour later, which I did. I was still in pain and having Braxton hicks. I went into hospital and they did a test which said I could be going into labour, so I got given steroid injections, and 2 drips to help stop the contractions and transferred to a different hospital 60 miles away. The contractions have completely stopped and baby is healthy! I need to have the 2nd steroid injection tonight and baby has been fine the whole time :) and don't know when I will be going home but everything is looking ok! It was a bit scary at times, especially when the baby doctor was explaining what would happen if he was born now and the consultant asking how id like to proceed if I went into labour! :s

Glad I got a second opinion!!!

[Mumof3xx]

That must have been scary!

It's a good job you got checked out again!

Here's hoping the rest of your pregnancy is complication free!

Crikey op glad your ok. Goes to show it does no harm in getting checked out. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy
