Don't be scared Rups, even though my birth wasn't what I planned it was fine and baby got here I wouldn't say I had a bad birth, just long x

I think the 1 in 100 was a bit lower than that, but will need to look at my pamphlet again. The one that struck me was the chance of having a pounding headache for up to two months after though - the chance wasn't that high but can you just imagine having a newborn and a pounding headache continually??

Hey everyone.:wave:

I had my midwife appointment today r.e. the flashing lights and general feeling faint and horrible (sometimes it's hard to know what is M.E and what is pregnancy. =/).

Urine sample was normal but had a trace of glucose, but she wasn't worried about it as I had eaten only an hour and a half before I did the sample.

However, in her words, my BP is "in my boots".:eek: It's 80/50 which would explain alot. It seems to get lower at every appointment though. =/

savageHK

80/50! Did she say how you could get your BP up? Keeping cool I guess (if you're tending towards being hot lately) or eating salty stuff - is there anything else?

glad nothing serious LM. as long as they keep monitoring you.
