Would you call?

Question

I'm 33 weeks and 3 days but today after work I got home and noticed my ankles were a bit swollen- not horrendous and I felt okay so brushed it off as being normal but now I have quite a headache....
Still normal? Or should i call for advice? Based in UK so would be calling triage maternity

Answer

I’d be calling the maternity line. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. They won’t mind.

Answer

If the headache doesn’t go away with pain killers and it’s been a few hours with it, I would give them a call.. I had a headache that wouldnt go away had this for a week before my planned c-section, so ended up going to triage they blood tested me for diabetes and pre-eclampsia also blood pressure, they came back negative.. in the end once I gave birth it went.

Answer

it’s normal to have swollen ankles and headaches during pregnancy.
