I have just spoken to my mum who mentioned about how I used to get palpitations when I was younger before passing out...but the doctor said it was low blood pressure.

The consultant yesterday asked me about if I'd had any problems before - I said no. Turns out I have. I wouldn't mind but my mum was sat there. When I asked mum why she didn't say anything, she said "Oh, I thought if you weren't mentioning it then neither should I!". OMG...she knows I remember nothing at the minute - not to mention this was years ago. So off to the doctors on Monday it is then as the hospital suggested. Boo.

Hi all :hello:

Welcome to jordan and bikeless :wave: Huge hugs :grouphug: to all those who want one and thanks for info about breastfeeding techniques. Bellola, yes swollen feet a very common complaint in pregnancy (mine are huge!) but keep an eye on them - if they as well as your hands become itchy or your face swells too or you have any concerns at all, have a chat with your midwife

Well I went to hospital yesterday afternoon for blood pressure check - and was admitted for the night on maternity ward as was much too high. Urine and bloods all fine though so they don't think its a sign of pre-eclampsia, instead just pregnancy related hypertension. Didn't get a wink of sleep (how anyone manages to sleep when in a 6 person bay is beyond me!) but medication managed to bring it down so I will be on it now until baby is here. I was allowed to go home at lunchtime but have to go back to maternity assessment on Monday for BP check and a scan to check I haven't lost any waters (measuring a tad small now). I think I will be up the hospital every day until baby is here and am also now consultant led - I am also under the impression that they won't let me go too much beyond due date. But I am remaining very cheerful if stuipdly tired - can't wait to meet little man and pleased that we are both being well looked after Plus I saw some delicious babies on the postnatal bay

Under strict instructions to do nothing else for next two weeks - I presume attacking ice cream is not included in this?!

Take care all xx

Well I've just had an extremely busy afternoon - my M&D called at 12 to ask if they could come around at 2.30 with a chest of drawers that we'd said we wanted. Trouble was, I was in the middle of sorting out my car insurance renewal (it took me nearly 2 hours in the end as I used various comparison engines and made a few phonecalls), I hadn't showered or dressed or eaten lunch, and I had not emptied any of the drawers that the new chest was replacing. Cue manic cleaning and me getting stressed as I tried to find time to fit it all in. They've also helpfully brought round a cardboard box full of stuff that they've had of mine that I can't even face opening, and I don't have enough room to store what we do have as the chest of drawers holds less than I thought!:mad: I haven't even had a chance to take my Gaviscon since lunch so after bending over hoovering skirting boards etc, my back is killing me and I'm in heartburn hell! Off to take some Gaviscon now Moon is back from work, and he's just finished off some more hoovering for me. At least the bed is clear of stuff now so I can put my feet up.

Clearly I'm in hormone hell, that rat pic just had me in tears. I had a baby girl that looked exactly like that. She was a wonderful little rat. So affectionate.

Don't be sorry - it's nice thinking about her. I'm just really weepy. My hubby called me stupid for considering going to work instead of the doctors on Monday and I've been bawling my eyes out at anything and everything ever since. lol

Talking of crying I burst into tears in Ikea today. I know that a saturday afternoon in Ikea is enough to reduce most people to tears but one minute I was munching on a meatball, the next I was bawling! For no reason at all! No one had said anything, I hadn't thought about anything emotional, I just suddenly found myself sobbing. The OH looked horrified.

Honestly, pregnancy's just about leaking all the time - fanny, boobs, eyes...
