I had my consultant appointment today. It went okay but because of the increased artery pressure into the placenta and the high blood pressure reading (135/91) I now have to go every week to have my blood pressure checked! Its such a long journey to my midwife - it takes me half a day. I went to the hospital today (which is the same distance just walking in the opposite direction) and I have come back and slept for 3 hours - totally worn out. That cant be good.
Anyway, the consultant says I can split visits between the doctors and the midwife if that helps but approaching the doctors for such a simple test makes me nervous. Anyway, I keep going. Its upsetting though, every appointment just feels like another problem.
I have also put on over a stone in weight. On my first visit the consultant said not to put anymore weight. I was carefully weighing myself and maintaining my weight until about 3 weeks ago. I weighed myself again in anticipation of going back and a stone had jumped on from nowhere. Anyway, Im to look out for pain in the diaphram, stars, blurred vision, dizziness. What do I do if I experience any of these? Ring him? He's on holiday for 3 weeks. I dont understand this system nor the care, nor anything really.
Symptoms = nausea (still) especially if I miss a meal, shortness of breath, baby girl kicking
