Congrats @maybebaby2 what a pretty name!!

@Gemxo that doesn't sound like much fun. I have swelling in hands and feet, and a vicious headache today. I've got a MW appointment in half an hour and I'm hoping it's nothing worrying.

reetgood · 28/12/2017 14:34

@gemxo I had an unusual high blood pressure read earlier in pregnancy. No other symptoms. The midwife took my blood pressure three times at the appointment, came up high, and checked for protein. As nothing but the blood pressure came up as unusual, she made an appointment for me the next week as yours did. I got a list of symptoms to watch for in the meantime. With the headaches, it was one that wouldn’t go away that I was told to look out for (and likely extremely painful). Plus the hands and feet. I went back the next week and read completely normal. I was having a bit of a stressful week, and came down with a cold shortly after the higher reading. I suspect it was that spiked it. My midwife wasn’t too concerned either, but was very clear with me what I should be aware of, and what to do if I was concerned.

ElleMcElle · 28/12/2017 14:54

Congrats @Maybebaby2 - fantastic news!

Gemxo · 28/12/2017 15:04

Ok so I've just done one of my home urine tests for protein & I think it's came back with something??

Bottom 3 are previous strips from yesterday & top strip is from about 20 mins ago

Congratulations @Maybebaby2 on your new arrival! Absolutely beautiful name as well! x

reetgood · 28/12/2017 15:17

@gemxo that does look a touch higher, maybe get in contact with community team as they may want to do some further monitoring? Eg take further samples to check is not a blip.

Seven0fNine · 28/12/2017 16:35

Congratulations @Maybebaby2 xxx Hope you are both recovering well. What a beautiful name!!!

Gemxo · 28/12/2017 17:04

Called the hospital for some advice, midwife wants me to come in to be checked. Hopefully it's not pre-eclampsia!! Sad

reetgood · 28/12/2017 17:38

@gemxo crossing my fingers for you!

Flippertyjibbetty · 28/12/2017 17:58

Has anyone indicated that they don't want internal examinations? I mentioned to my MW yest and have been told I need to see the consultant mw to discuss a plan as they 'won't' be able to track your progression without internal examinations.

I thought there were other ways to monitor, but in any case as long as baby is fine (and is monitored) it doesn't matter how quickly or slowly you progress?

Feeling like the stay puft monster today. But all fine at mw appt yest. 39w today.

reetgood · 28/12/2017 18:23

@flippertyjibbetty I’m planning on homebirth and have said ok with internal. Have also put that I would like to be told what people are doing and why they’re doing it before action is taken. The homebirth midwife said as a team that’s what they’d do anyway: she gave some examples of situations where we wouldn’t discuss things and they would just take action. Those were emergency situations, not internal exams!

Gemxo · 28/12/2017 19:45

Currently waiting to be seen by the Dr finally, A midwife checked me in triage, she done my blood pressure, checked baby's heartbeat and tested my urine, urine has come back with 2+ of protein but blood pressure is now normal not high. She tried to brush it off and say I have a water infection because my blood pressure is fine but I explained to her about the constant headache for 3 days and the fact that I have no pain when I wee. She then said she will let the dr decide what he wants to do, I felt like she didn't really care which annoyed me. There was no urine in my wee yesterday and there is today so clearly something is going onEnvy

Gemxo · 28/12/2017 19:48

Protein* not urine! Grin

ndo4000 · 28/12/2017 19:56

@Flippertyjibbetty I am planning a home birth and have said that I don't want any 'routine' vaginal examinations. If there is a reason for an examination then I will consider it, but other than that, the midwives should be able to assess a woman by the noises she makes, her facial expressions and the body positions she naturally gets into.

That said, it is an individual choice! Some women may like knowing what's going on.

The key is for it to be your choice. Not the anyone else's.

Waitingonasmile · 28/12/2017 20:15

I hope you get answers soon @Gemxo ! Have they taken blood?

Flippertyjibbetty · 28/12/2017 20:17

@gemxo stand your ground if something feels wrong!

@ndo4000 - agree, should be a choice. I know that it will make me tense up which won't be conducive to things!

@reetgood- good luck with the homebirth! I think we need to sit down and have a plan in place- at least so my DH knows what to push/ ask for when I'm unable to :)

stripeysocks3 · 28/12/2017 20:18

I had a sweep today and just constant discomfort and cramps. Anyone else had this?

MegRam · 29/12/2017 08:48

I had a sweep yesterday too, @stripeysocks3. I haven't had any cramping or pain (and actually it doesn't seem to have done anything at all!) but the midwife did say that it was possible I would feel period like cramps afterwards, so hopefully what you're experiencing is normal!

stripeysocks3 · 29/12/2017 09:42

@MegRam all gone now! Had hoped it was the start of something Sad

cheshiremama89 · 29/12/2017 10:25

Anyone having bad nausea at night when they go to bed?

I thought it may have been something I'd eaten, but thinking about it I had it the night before too.

Also a burning sensation in my throat, not sure if this is just acid reflux/heartburn as I've never had it before.

Currently 36+1 with first xx

Waitingonasmile · 29/12/2017 10:41

How are you today @Gemxo?

@cheshiremama89 I'm sick up to 4 or 5 tines day and night at the moment so nausea at night seems normal to me.

Snow is so bad here and I can't get my car out. I'm only 38 +3 so I know the chances of anything happening are absolutely tiny but I'm so upset and worried now that I'm stuck here and couldn't get to hospital. Hope it melts soon. Sad

StylishDuck · 29/12/2017 10:59

@cheshiremama89 I get the burning sensation too. It seems to be acid reflux and only really bad when I lie down.

I'm also cramping on and off at the moment. Every time it happens I get my hopes up then it never comes to anything. 39+2 today.

Isabeau1980 · 29/12/2017 15:21

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around much. I should be 38+0 today. Instead I have a 2 week old who is one week out of Neo. Cian was 5 pounds 2 oz at birth and, as of Wednesday this week, is now 5 pounds 10.

millsbynight · 29/12/2017 15:27

Congratulations @Isabeau1980 !! How long were you in neonatal for? That must have been such a worrying time! So glad he’s out of nnu and putting weight on though!
