Im just looking for some advice for the past week i have had a migraine that i can't shift i keep getting vision disturbances can't keep any food down hg has got worse especially at nights.

Everytime i vomit i keep seeing floaters
I've had alot of braxton hicks and tightening around my bump my bp at drs last week 116/97 got checked as had swelling to hands and feet also have protein and leucocytes in my urine.

Apart from anemia theres nothing else showing apart from a small infection.

I'm just done in with feeling like this i feel so dehydrated and thirsty but i can't keep much down my last pregnancy i lost my vision due to migraines and was kept in hospital due to fear of blood clot on the brain and stroke etc.

I'm so scared I'm going doing the same route and my youngest is only 14 months so don't want to be in the hospital until i get induced etc.

This is my 4th dc and suffered hg during all pregnancys but the migraines im struggling with does this sound normal to keep getting sent away I've had reduced movements now it feels like im waking up with contractions but dissapear then come back.

I feel like im barely functioning

You need to get checked out in hospital. Asap. How far along are you?
You've a few different things possibly going on.
Signs of pre eclampsia, uti and reduced movement.

Im 31 weeks just turned yesterday i was checked for the reduced movement which is where they picked up i had protein and leucocytes in my urine and was anemic but sent me home after a quick scan to make sure she was ok x

When were you last checked? What did they say about that BP? Did they give you a plan to come back/be checked again etc?

Courtneybrown · 20/01/2019 12:12

I was last checked last week no plan to come back they just said its part of pregnancy.

They said my bp was fine but its been jumping from 60 to 86 then back down to 60 then up to 97 doesnt sit right with me especially with swelling and migraines but i could just be over exaggerating x

Again i don't know why when i had protein and leucocytes in my urine doesn't that indicate a infection plus i was having crampings at that time too but they done a quick check and said cervix was closed.
Obviously thought i was more concerned about labour starting.

I was concerned a infection was left untreated as had blood in my urine at last midwife appointment but was told it could just be a tainted sample so never got anything to treat it either.

Ring delivery suite and tell them you are still concerned and want to be checked over again. It's your body and you know when something doesn't feel right. Good luck to you OP x

Thank you i just feel like they dont have the time of day for people at my hospital tgey spoke to me like it was all new to me i have 3 other children you would think they think i know my body.

I'm just confused as to why let me go home with a suspected infection anyway without treating it especially as i was already cramping that has been left another week now and clearly running through my body with the migraines vomiting etc so now potentially putting my dd at more risk or being born prem with a possible infection.
