The past 2 weeks I’ve been feeling like there’s something wrong with my body!

Just had a midiwife appointment where she found protein in my urine and a blood pressure of 139/something i can’t remember. I went to mau a few weeks back for headaches and vision changes but wasn’t taken seriously.
I’m being sent for a scan whenever I receive a phone call due to baby going from 30th percentile to 80th between appointments.

But I feel really left in the dark and unsure on what to do

When I had these symptoms I was immediately admitted to hospital. I’d go to the hospital if I were you. I had been at work and feeling absolutely fine . Please don’t wait around. Best of luck.

Thank you! I just feel like I’m being over dramatic and don’t want to be a nuisance to anyone but I’m so worried now. But because my blood pressure didn’t hit the 140 as it was only 139 my midiwife said she won’t refer me to the hospital

No please don’t feel that you are being over dramatic. Absolutely be better safe than sorry . A Doppler scan then showed that the blood flow in my placenta wasnt great. DD was delivered a month early and I still ended up in high dependency afterwards.

I agree with @SparkyBlue take yourself to hospital.
I had bad preeclampsia, had for weeks but bp wasn’t that high and I no protein so I wasn’t taken seriously. Roll on a few weeks seen the midwife she sent me to hospital as my bp was slightly high at hospital they took bloods and I got told to go home and they’d ring if I need to come in!
24hrs later I felt horrendous and my bp was up to 187/91 rang the hospital that eve and they said I was ok. Woke the following morning and felt so bad, I drove myself to hospital and ended up being admitted and having my baby by emergency section that day.

you know your body best, 100% go and get checked

@Katielouise111 how are you now

Is 140 the cut off? It wasn't for me 24 years ago,it was 116 over 90 something and I was told to go to hospital immediately. I was 26 weeks and had ds at 32 weeks. I don't have great faith in midwives generally so I'd go to hospital in your shoes.

a systolic BP over 140 and/or a diastolic BP over 90 are the thresholds that warrant more serious thought - your diastolic of '90 something' is probably what interested them.
