Swelling?

Question

So I’ve been tested for protein in my urine last week. My blood pressure is supposedly fine ( i don’t trust the nurse that does it ) I’m constantly dizzy I’ve been seeing little “lights” in my vision kinda looks like lightening bugs lol my hands and feet swell a lot which I know can be a “normal” pregnancy symptom. And I have this kinda burning, tearing pain at the top of my uterus right under my boobs. Currently 38w2d and it’s got me worried because I feel my body’s telling me something isn’t right. Anyone else? Am I crazy? Ughh I just want him out already 😩😩😩😩

Answer

I’ve had all those symptoms but not all at once. If any of them continue then keep going back to be checked. Intuition is strong with mothers & if you have concerns then there’s no harm in being checked. However as I mentioned I’ve experienced all of that also & most of it unfortunately are normal pregnancy symptoms. Go with your gut xx

Answer

Currently on bed rest 36+4 days due to preeclampsia. Did the 24 hr urine test 3 times and passed them all blood gets taking every other day that comes back ok. However my blood pressure is usually high 155/94 145/80, blurred vision seeing sun spots, feet hands and leg swollen, and headaches. I go Saturday fora c section at 37 weeks which is safest for baby and me.

Answer

I have all those symptoms. My doctor isn’t concerned but she did say if my rib pain was on the right side (instead of the left) she would be concerned about liver problems. Maybe get a second opinion somewhere?

Answer

I had all of this with my first pregnancy and everything was fine, even though I had my suspicions as well. Baby was born at 40+2 completely healthy. My blood pressure was slightly higher than normal with the protein, but it wasn’t dangerous. I’m 39 weeks with my next baby and haven’t had it though.

Answer

I had protein in my urine but blood pressure was fine. They did a 24 long on my urine. I ended up having to have my daughter at 37 weeks due to preeclampsia.

Answer

I wish I could offer advice, but I’m 38+6 and been feeling all the same things exactly! Hopefully that means it’s normal. No protein in my urine, blood pressure normal—my feet swelled so bad a couple days ago they looked like balloons. Haven’t been able to wear my wedding ring in about a month...I asked my doctor about the pain in the top of my belly (I mostly feel I when I try to roll over in bed, but it’s intense!) and they think it’s just a muscle pain.
