Feeling off 36weeks

Hi everyone , I’m currently 36+2 and the last few days I’ve been feeling a bit off. I’ve felt emotional and drained. Today I’ve woke up with a slight headache and flashes in my eyes. And generally just don’t feel right. I’m putting it down to tiredness.‘I have the consultant tomorrow and will explain how I feel. Anyone else felt rough the last few weeks of pregnancy

Flashing lights and headache can be signs of pre-eclampsia, I personally would want to get checked over before tomorrow OP.

Yes I went downhill at 36 weeks. Started being sick and got admitted for preeclampsia. Have your consultant check your blood pressure and urine. Everything was fine in the end but make sure you get checked just in case. If it does worsen overnight go to ring consultant or go a&e. It may seem like worse case scenario but better to be safe x

Can you call your midwife today? I wouldn't leave till tomorrow tbh. Sounds like high blood pressure.
You should have the direct number for labour ward or your midwife's number in your pregnancy notes.
Please don't leave it till tomorrow

Those are potential pre eclampsia symptoms that can’t wait until tomorrow, speak to a medical professional today and see what they advise. Do not wait for tomorrow before seeking proper advice OP
