Hi I'm new to mumsnet but I don't know who else to turn to....

My last mw appt said there was small amount of protein in my urine.
She said if I have headache or blurred vision to call triage.
I have a headache and my vision is somewhat wobbly. Not exactly blurred (bit like when you just wake up and your eyes havnt quite adjusted yet) and the headache isn't severe - still watching tv and ok with lights on etc.
However, I have not been drinking enough and have been hardly sleeping so I'm thinking it's a lot to do with that.

So far I have had 1.5litres of drink today and had painkillers an hour ago.
Still got the headache.

Would you call triage now or would you wait and see how you feel later on?

I feel a bit sick (not severe sickness or anything just a bit bleugh) and got bad acid reflux and heartburn.

Tried looking on Google but ended up making myself feel worse.

I called triage yesterday morning as I was up all night worrying.
They said it doesn't sound like anything to worry about but to go in and they will check me over.
Everything was fine. No protein, bp normal (tested 3 times over an hour to make sure) headache in PE is apparently more at the front where my headache is at the back and top. - didnt know that, everything I looked up (and Mw) just said "bad headache"
All good. Peace of mind so I'm not worrying anymore -well, about that anyway! Grin
Still having constant palpitations as I'm so scared about actually going into labour but I'll get there.... not much choice. Due in 9 days lol

Just checked back. Glad everything was ok OP. If you ever even have a niggling doubt about anything just call or go in. They really won't mind. Being overly cautious and feeling a bit silly afterwards is infinitely better than the alternative. Hope the rest of your pregnancy is smooth sailing x
