I had no symptoms. It got
Picked up at my routine midwife apt when they took blood pressure it was sky high on all three readings. When I got to hospital they ran a test and it was confirmed with protein in urine and blood test. X

yeah my protein in urine is low, they said they sent it off like 3 weeks ago but never heard anything which is probs a good sign, but I have headaches, upper abdominal pain and itching and they keep passing it off, just hoping they’re right in what they’re saying x

Avatar

aww I hope you’re ok! A week in hospital must be tough!
I didn’t have to stay in because they managed to get my bp under control with medication, but going back for a plan to be made on Monday and they are talking about induction at 37/38 weeks x

if you’re concerned ring up the hospital and ask for results that will put your mind at ease! And definitely tell them you’re still having symptoms it can be dangerous if left untreated xx

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

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

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?

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!
