Midwife appointment - left in doubt

I’m 37weeks today, got protein in my urine, had headaches again the past few days which I do now, , severe nausea and keep seeing ‘stars’ on and off/visual disturbances. My blood pressure was 135/91 and then 118/74. The midwife I see took bloods but that was all, allowed me home. I’d of thought they would’ve sent me to triage to be monitored surely?

Babies heart rate was 145-167 again, same as last week.

Should I call them myself or just leave it? T

Silly questions

Does anyone else ever read a post and think “why tf are you asking us this and not calling a doctor!?” I understand this is a place to share advice, thoughts, and opinions.. but are some questions really necessary? for example one person asked a question about sex being painful after a surgery, and another asked if they should get their baby medical attention because their newborn had accidentally gone under dirty water during bath time. Why on earth would you take the time to write a whole paragraph about how your baby was under dirty water, right after it happened, instead of calling a health professional for advice??? I honestly think some of these questions put out there are ridiculous and need to be taken to a professional instead of waisting time asking strangers on an app.

Noticing I have overhang (apron belly), does anyone have any tips to reduce this?...
Do belly bands/ shapewear help...?

Postpartum bleeding

Hi guys, I gave birth Friday at 5:58am and my postpartum bleeding is already incredibly light. This is my second baby and I can’t remember how long I bled for with my first to be honest (heavy wise) but I feel like it’s really light really quickly? And I don’t know if that’s normal or anyone else has had the same.
Im still wearing pads etc because bleeding is definitely still there but it’s like a mild period.
