If u feel any worse at any point just go in!! Don't play it down or dissmiss anything! :(

storminabuttercup · 25/07/2012 06:19

How are you today? I do think you should go in for monitoring if you still feel like that!

worriedwretch · 25/07/2012 08:35

hot, headaches - watching myself closely as my hands feel "tight" like my fingers could be swollen - could this be the start of PE? Or is it just heat?

Yes, go in now!

MrFunnytheEasterBunny · 25/07/2012 08:42

If your fingers are feeling swollen, it may well be a sign of pre-eclampsia. Worth going in to get checked out just in case. Hope you feel better soon.

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 25/07/2012 09:03

It's gone on long enough please go in it just isn't worth the risk :(

worriedwretch · 25/07/2012 09:05

Does that mean ur going in? Yay x you are doing right thing!!!!

SomethingSuitablyWitty · 25/07/2012 09:35

Good luck worried! Think you are right to go and checked out. The lightheaded feeling might be a fever I though? Due to an infection? Good to get things checked out anyway. Fingers crossed for you!

storminabuttercup · 25/07/2012 10:24

Glad you are going in. Take care

Flyingwithoutwings · 25/07/2012 11:22

Gosh, just read the whole thread. How are you feeling? Are you in hospital yet?
Thinking of you Smile

How did it go?

MamaMary · 25/07/2012 16:54

It sounds like how l felt with pre-eclampsia - the headache, spaced out feeling and swollen hands etc. I hope you get diagnosed quickly.

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 25/07/2012 18:21

Moominsarescary · 25/07/2012 18:36

Thats good news. How are you feeling now?

worriedwretch · 25/07/2012 21:41

Dull head ache and puffy hands

Could easily be the heat though!

OP posts:
Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 25/07/2012 21:47

;( hope the monitoring is all clear x

Flyingwithoutwings · 25/07/2012 22:03

It could well be. I swelled up when I was about 24 weeks pg due to the heat, as soon as it cooled I deflated and felt much better.
Hope tomorrow goes well, keep us updated Smile
