Sorry in advance,this is a bit long winded! I am 25wks pregnant with dc3. I put a thread on the other day about me fainting regularly and having pins and needles and dizzy spells.All replies told me to go to hospital,which I had confirmed by my midwife so went straight to A&E. After describing my symptoms they immediately suspected pre eclampsia although my urine was fine.I was then transferred to Cardiac care where I spent 2 days on a heart monitor,having regular BM and blood pressure checks.
The ward I was on was hurrendous,the care I got was poor and after 48 hours of them still not knowing what was wrong with me I discharged myself.
I don't know why I was never put on a maternity ward where they are used to dealing with pregnancy related problems and now I feel no further ahead and that I'm going to spend the rest of my pregnancy with these symptoms. Has anyone else had similar problems and did they ever find out a reason for it? TIA
