Please help, in 29+4 and recently diagnosed with GD. I feel really weak today with extremely heavy lower legs and arms and a pressure on my chest. No significant swelling. I logged into my online mat notes account to get the out of hours number for midwife so I could phone for advice. I saw on my notes that my urine from Tuesday tested positive for protein, ketones and white blood cells. Why didn’t they tell me? I
Have pointed out that I was repeatedly hospitalised for kidney infections during previous pregnancy. No uti symptoms.

Why have you posted this under two different account names? Hmm

You again?! Bugger off if you can’t be supportive.

Your symptoms say low iron to me.

What do you think it is? If you’ve posted about it before you’re obviously worried about something specific.

I think the best thing to do is to phone 111 or whatever your local ooh service is. Sorry you are feeling poorly.
You haven't posted under 2 accounts. No idea why claire is stalking you.
I completely understand why you are anxious. I hope you can get checked out.

Thank you both. I spent the afternoon at triage and they were lovely. I was worried about pre eclampsia and I did have protein in urine and slightly raised blood pressure so I will go in on Tuesday for more tests. I was recently diagnosed with GD so might be a little more sensitive than normal.

I hope you can get some rest.
Pregnancy can be a worrying time.
