Do I need to phone GP?

[Dinosauraddict]

I'm 31 weeks pregnant, the last couple days I've probably overdone it a bit, DGM has been in hospital so I've visited after long work days and got back late, am admittedly exhausted and have a long (1.5 hour each way) commute anyway. But I feel awful and have just fainted. Lights feels like they're flickering and I feel really dizzy and sick (I have HG but tablets normally control it, today they're just not helping). I am very weak, barely managing to lift anything, and not sure if I should be getting checked out. Drinking loads as per usual last couple of days but barely weeing (feel like I really need to go, but bugger all is coming out). Please either tell me to woman up and push through, or tell me if I should actually ring for a GP appointment :/ I feel so out of it that I'm not thinking straight!

Do you have a triage unit at the hospital?
I honestly think this is possibly more urgent than a GP - ring your midwife?
Flashing lights sensation can be a sign of preeclampsia (it was with me). Possibly you are dehydrated even if you have been drinking a lot but do see someone as soon as you can. Don’t leave it.

Preeclampsia - I think you have more than one symptom. Please get medical help immediately.

Call midwife/triage at labour ward immediately. Numbers should be in your notes.

Don't call the GP. Phone the labour ward and go in to be assessed.

Agree with above. You need to go to be assessed by an obstetrician for preeclampsia.

Maternity unit at your hospital is the place you should get check. Don't delay.

You probably need a drip. Sounds like you're dehydrated

Thanks everyone, at least I don't feel like I'm just being pathetically dramatic. I'll give them a call once I escape my next meeting!

Go straight to your hospital

@dinosauraddict f**k the meeting, you sound very dehydrated. work can wait

Get someone from work to take you now or get a taxi

Don’t wait till after the next meeting

All of your symptoms are telling you something is wrong, contact your midwife / maternity unit now. You and your baby are far more important than a meeting.

No meeting. Hospital please.

Don't wait- you really must make this the priority. 😱

Thanks everyone - will phone now!

Hospital RIGHT NOW. Please.

Hope you got/ get on OK.

Sounds worrying - hope you are ok

Hope you are ok xx

Are you ok OP?

Hope all is ok!

They told me to go in when I phoned, currently sat in waiting room waiting to see someone.

Glad you are going to be seen.

@Dinosauraddict how are you?

Being kept in overnight Was good job I came in though, so thank you everyone!
