pre eclapmsia 32 weeks pregnant

[redddssak]

im mainly worried as ive been having tiny flashing spots of light in my vision like 2 times a day for like 1 second, and on Monday I had like stars in my vision for like 10 seconds when waiting in a bright room like when you look at the sky for too long.
all things ive before pregnancy too so I dint think anything of it.,

I have no swelling, no headaches, bp is normal, no protein in urine all checked yesturday although I didnt mention the visual things,
I also had short lived right rib pain just today but I feel like it was how I was laying.
I spoke to a midwife through a online chat thing and she said I shoudlnd worry as I dont have the main symptoms like swelling in face, high bp, urine protein etc

baby is moving normal etc, can this wait to mention to midwife if still continuing next week, (if gets worse ofc ill ring sooner)

[redddssak]

did anyone experience similar and wasn't PE?

If you have visual disturbance seek advice TODAY, don't leave it. I was fobbed off by a midwife and I was already seriously I'll and then needed all my care via the hospital and said midwife was given 'extra training.'

Please go to hospital and report your symptoms. Get your blood pressure checked again. I had an atypical pre-eclampsia presentation, just felt a bit flu like with no swelling or high blood pressure at 28 weeks. My midwife recognised the condition and sent me immediately to hospital. By the time I got there my BP was sky high and I was confined to hospital until I had an EMC at 30 weeks. (2lb 5oz baby).

Pre-eclampsia can come on quickly and be serious, please get checked, better safe than risk it.

My experience was 30 years ago, baby now a 29 year old healthy adult because of the early diagnosis.
Hope all turns out well for you xx

ok ill call not sure who to call though as my midwife is through my gp should I call the non urgent number
(although I m going to have to wait a few hours as I have people in my house fitting my carpets as we speak and cant have anyone come over for me so now im gunna be sat here worrying till I can call

[redddssak]

but when I can call shall I ring my midwife through my gp try to get to see her today or talk to her? or ring the non urgent midwife number ( last time I did this they took 3 days to ring me back. but maybe because wasn't urgent) or ring the emergency line?

You need to call the URGENT number or A&E in your maternity hospital

[redddssak]

I will as soon as these people leave, how do they check you have it??

Just go as soon as the carpet fitters have gone. Take food and a book as you might have a wait.
