So since the weekend I've had pains in the right side, I went to doctors on Monday who gave me painkillers which didn't work. I continued to go to work (in a school as they are short staffed), on Tuesday mid morning I just wanted to cry and go home, I was using an ice pack to numb the area and the pain got so bad I couldn't speak - luckily the kids thought I was being quiet as baby was moving so all came over to see if they could feel 😍 I asked if I could go home, but was met with disbelief that anything was wrong and saying if I did I would put the school into crisis. Fast forward to Wed morning before school and I had a pre-scheduled mid wife appointment - she checked my pee and found protien and checked my blood pressure and it was super high then looked at my ankles and hands which were slightly swollen. She checked for baby's heartbeat and sent me straight to hospital. At hospital my blood pressure came down over the course of the morning but my pee still had protien. They took bloods and sent pee away for testing. I saw the consultant who eventually came back and said the severe pain is probably muscular. They also said I could go home and rest. My local hospital is only small so rely on consultants from other hospitals, they said as it's not serious I should get results back from other hospital next Monday. Also said I will need weekly blood pressure checks at my local surgery. There is also a possibility I will no longer be able to give birth at my local hospital although this isn't confirmed.

So I'm confused - did I have pre eclampsia? Am I at more risk of preeclampsia? Why do I feel absolutely exhausted today, I feel like I'm recovering from a bad bug and all I want to do is sleep?!?!
