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.
I just feel so rotten.no answer from oncall midwife. Baby moving fine

I would call the hospital maternity assessment unit or Triage number and talk to them for advice.

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

Claire, do sod off with your Hmm. I changed the heading to see if I could attract more advice as I was beside myself with worry. Is that ok with you?

I did not change account name! Don’t you have better things to do on a Sunday than question a heavily pregnant woman who was concerned about her health.

Go into triage x

Did you speak to anyone at the hospital @Lndnmummy? Are you feeling any better?

Lndnmummy · 29/04/2018 19:27

ThanksFlowers, I went in around lunch time and they were lovely. I have just been able to come home now. Some protein in urine and blood pressure a tad high so they are keeping an eye out for pre eclampsia.
I will go back in on Tuesday for more tests. Fingers crossed all will be well.

Glad you got yourself checked out @Lndnmummy hope you can manage to rest for the next couple of days and you are feeling better soon.
