Should I worry about this?

Hi all

40+2 today, feet very swollen last night (not too bad today) but have woken up with a fuzzy headache and feel quite sick. Also occassionally get a pain below my rib on the left hand side.

Was in hosp with pregnancy related migraine about 3 weeks ago but for a while they suspected pre eclampsia and kept asking me about upper bump or rib pain. Combining this with the mild headache and bit of swelling, wondering if I should do anything??

TIA :)

Yes, phone your midwife.

If you're even 0.000001% concerned, go to the hospital and get checked out. Don't take any risks. Don't feel silly, or that you're 'wasting their time'. Just go.

I agree, please call them and go in to be seen. Good luck xx

Go straight to maternity unit if you can't speak to mw. If you call them first they would tell you to come in for a check.

Good luck x
