I've recently been discharged from hospital after going into pre term labour, luckily contractions stopped and got steroid injections. However since leaving hospital I've been very sick and still getting lower abdo cramping. Every time I eat I'm bringing it back up, I've had a sore head for two days now and my feet and fingers are puffy but not extremely. I phoned my doctor and he told me to see my midwife but when I phoned my midwife she just told me to rest. AIBU in feeling shoved aside?

I've also experienced bouts of floaters in my vision and I'm 33 weeks

Have you got a home blood pressure machine? I'd call maternity ward or ward you were discharged from and ask for further advice/reassurance.

Call antenatal and tell them you need to come in. They'll be concerned about pre-eclampsia with those symptoms. Bring a urine sample!

Please call the ward direct and ask for help.

I'm another voice saying please do go and get checked! You have some symptoms of pre-eclampsia. Where are the cramps/tummy pains? You can get pain in the right hand side of the rib cage too with pre-eclampsia.

Ring the hospital and ask them what to do.

The cramps are right above my pelvic bone very low abdominal on the right hand side they're coming and going though. I will phone the maternity triage unit where I was admitted thank you everyone

I had vision issues at the end of my pregnancy (floaters over my eyes and some blurred vision) and both times it happened I called the labour ward and was advised to go in immediately. They ran lots of tests and thankfully I was fine but some of the issues your describing should be checked out every single time no matter how often they happen.
Call the ward and go in. Ignore the clearly bad advice you've been given!
