Contact triage or wait until midwife appt

I have a midwife appt tomorrow morning, but i currently have a headache, and flashing lights in my eyes, this has been happening all weekend. I took my BP today as my dad has a machine for home monitoring due to issues and mine is 138/92 ... i dont want to ring / go to triage and waste their time when i am seeing a midwife tomorrow anyway. I am 32 weeks on wednesday

I think you should call triage, I experienced this with my first pregnancy and ended up having pre-eclampsia, it’s best to get checked sooner than later

I would get checked, they are all symptoms of pre-eclampsia. Might be nothing but always best to check incase thats what they are there for and wont mind at all ☺️ x

Don’t worry about it wasting peoples time, it’s their job to give you a check when things are uncertain

These are all symptoms that my trust recommends contacting triage immediately if experienced. I’d give them a call. My midwife keeps reassuring me that it’s fine to call if I feel like I need to. They’d much rather see you and there be no problem than miss an issue.

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
