Do I need to see a doctor tonight or wait and see?

[suiledonn]

Hi, I'm 31 weeks pregnant and woke up this morning feeling poorly. For the last few hours I have a nagging headache, stomach pains, shivering and feel nauseous on and off. DH won't be home for several hours so if I want to see someone have to make a decision soon while MIL is available to take dd.

sounds like you've got flu

[Jenski]

see a dr just in case.

[suiledonn]

Feel fuzzy headed not thinking very clearly. Don't usually suffer from headaches and don't know if it could be a sign of something pregnancy related.

[Twiglett]

if you are concerned see a doctor

[funnypeculiar]

Could you try ringing NHS Direct? They tend to be very helpful for this sort of thing...
Hope you feel better soon

I would get it checked out. Have you got any disturbance to your sight.

Hi it maybe the time of year when all colds/coughs are coming out and when your pregnant you more prone to catching flu, id speak to a midwife or nhs direct for reassurance though 0845 4647 x

Have you tried paracetamol?

[Dorchies]

I'd give your midwive unit a ring - they are so helpful and better to get it checked.

[crokky]

I'd ring the delivery suite of your hospital and ask their advice. You'll get through to a MW straight away.

[diddle]

definitly ring just to be sure, its not worht taking any risks, even if its nothing and you feel really stupid after arranging childcare etc.

Have you called anyone yet?

[mum2ds1]

just to be on the safe side
hope u feel better soon

Thanks everyone. Spoke to a midwife who said it sounds like flu. I think the headache is sinus related as feeling really blocked up this morning. Have to have paracetamol and plenty of fluids. Would love a day in bed but with a toddler don't think that is going to happen.

hi
I would take the duvet downstairs shut the living room door and put cbeebies on. that is how I cope when I am ill, my kids dont normally watch ALOT of tv but when I am ill I admit to using it to keep them quiet!
