Go to ur docs and usually it's accompanied by high blood pressure so check it if u know how call ur doctor though

L&d! Better safer than sorry. Good luck. How far along are you

If you do kick counts and she isn't moving as much as normal, yes, go! Also if you're worried go to some place that has the free blood pressure measuring devices, like stop n shop or cvs or some walmarts, sign of pre eclampsia is high blood pressure. Otherwise call first thing in the a.m.
Remember that you know your body better than anyone, if u think something is up then go with your gut!

Yeah im going through all that now my ob just had me do a 24hr sample they pulled blood today but I already have an appointment set up for next week so they said I should know everything by my next visit but they explained if I felt light headed or seeing spots to go to labor and delivery cause I always had migraines but since I became pregnant the ousin doubled absolutely no medicine worked which caused my pressure to sky rocket

Just go to the store to check ur bp

Definitely go you are to far along to take chances especially of it's sudden

Sweetie, I rather you go and they send you home than something happen to you or the baby. My mil had preclampsia with my husband and nearly died and lost him bc she just brushed it off.

This is their job and I'm sure if it was them in yours shoes they would go. I hope all is okay though.

I would call ur doc. They were concerned about preeclampsia for me but I didn't have as many signs as you do. Especially with the swelling and the headache if ur BP is high you may want to go to the ER

Your bd isnt carrying the baby you are. You have a connection to the baby that he can't understand.

U should always go when the count is low our when you are experiencing sudden change

blissmarie23

Will bd at least take you to the store to get ur BP checked. If not is there someone else who can drive you? I would call the doc again since you have new symptoms.

HavingNumber4

Cal l an ambulance cuz you dont need to be driving in your condition and your bd probably just scared

KrazymomofAdrian

Go just in case its okae to be worried. Keep us posted, hun good luck. Or call a cab. Is there anyone who can drive you?

iris_y_juan

@blissmarie23 no he said he will stay home nd watch my son if anything happens to call him ugh I dnt like him right now.. I called my doc I'm jst waiting on his call bck I jst hope I'm not over reacting I mean no. Of this happened with my son or through out this pregnancy so I'm hoping everything will be ok ='[

I think you should stop worrying about the BD who is not respecting you or your child and take the car unless u feel you can't drive. You need to protect your baby at this point

iris_y_juan
