Midwife has just contacted my brothers partner and told her to go straight into hospital????

[tiredemma]

.... said that a recent blood test has shown some 'abnormalities' and she is to go straight up to the maternity unit??//

her due date is tomorrow anyway, im just a bit concerned as to what these potential abnormalities could be, and obviously, im concerned at the need for them to go straight up to hospital.

any ideas anyone???

cant help, but bump for you

goodness me...

something to do with rhesus status? pre eclampsia? GD?

whatever it is , it is being dealt with , that is the main thing, and it might be they are being over cautious, just in case, and she and baby are ok..IFYSWIM ....

try not to worry,. i;m sure you will get a call from them soon to let you know, or you could call hospital later?

Group-B strep?
Isn't that a blood test?
I thought GD & P/eclampsia were urine tests?

you do have bloods taken late on in pregnancy..cannot remember what for though ....so was trying to think of anything urgent ! yes, both are urine tests, but not sure if show up in bloods too

group b strep not routinely tested for

I dont know what the bloods was taken for, im all confused now. have phoned him but its just ringing out. will keep trying, will keep you posted.

thnaks ladies x

hope its nothing serious tiredemma. Let us know, won't you x

I cannot think what it would be but wish you all te best. They are in the best place if something has been spotted.

Let us know how you get on.

obstetric cholestasis (sp?), pre-eclampsia- a blood test would reveal related HELLP syndrome which is reallt, really severe

could be really low iron levels- they threatened me with immediate hospitalisationa nd a transfusion at one point

hope she is OK

*I should point ut-r eallys evere if left untreated, a c-section is essential- but as ong as delivery is immediate should be OK

(sorry)

When did she have the blood tests?

if you dont knwo why, then could be Obstetric Cholestasis - was she itching?

GBS is normally done with a swab.

Gest Diabetes you have to have 2 or 3 tests done normally.

hope eveything is ok. Its really doubtful at this stage its anything serious with the babys health.

low iron?

still cant get through to him, will give it till perhaps 9pm and may try to call the maternity unit direct.

COuld it have been for antibodies?

A vaginal swab is done for a b-strep test. Hope everything is okay.

panic over - phew !

apparently, a recent blood test showed some abnormalities, midwife thought it would be good idea to go into hospital this evening when she recieved the results. So they went up, had another blood test and urine test, this blood test showed no abnormalities, so they have been sent home.

they are a bit peeved for being panicked but as i said, better to be safe than sorry, and i think that the midwife did the right thing.

just wait until baby makes an appearance now!!

thnaks everyone, was a scary few hours then.

Glad to hear it was nothing serious.

glad it was nothing serious - stressful times those last few days.

glad everything is ok.
