Yes I was! She said the alternative was me going in multiple times a week for them to do it. They just wanted to keep an eye, I didn’t have to do it for long, few weeks maybeHas anyone else been told by their midwife team to buy a blood pressure machine and measure and record their own blood pressure every other day?!
Yeah I have to for my anaemia because my blood pressure is low xHas anyone else been told by their midwife team to buy a blood pressure machine and measure and record their own blood pressure every other day?!
I’m concerned the latter could be the case with me. I got drunk once a couple months ago and the amount I was sick was insane, I was in tears and my bf had to pick me up from an hour awayNot personally but I know a girl who didn’t know until labour, baby was totally fine. She was young and healthy.
Another didn’t know until 22 weeks (kicking was the first sign) baby was also totally ‘normal’ despite their smoking (11lb or something so not small!!), drinking, horse riding, being a real foodie and mid 30s.
I have, but l do mine more frequently. Assuming your blood pressure is on the high side at the moment?Has anyone else been told by their midwife team to buy a blood pressure machine and measure and record their own blood pressure every other day?!
That's the problem, I hadn't been told there were any concerns with my blood pressure. Two days in a row I've been given appointments or instructions off the back of things nobody had told me about prior. Nightmare.I have, but l do mine more frequently. Assuming your blood pressure is on the high side at the moment?
I don’t think it occurred to her it was pregnancy tbh but I have heard that you don’t get positives when you’re in the later trimesters too.I’m concerned the latter could be the case with me. I got drunk once a couple months ago and the amount I was sick was insane, I was in tears and my bf had to pick me up from an hour away. I also have a 9 month old so have a bit of a belly anyway from her. Hopefully I get an answer tomorrow. Did she test negative?
I’d ask your doctors for a blood draw. At our EPU they won’t see you until you’re 6 weeks based on your last period but it could be worth trying them anywayI’m really worried my lines on the pregnancy tests seem to be lighter than when I first test last week and my symptoms seem to have kinda stopped
Oh wow! I hope you make a complaint about the receptionist because that's so unprofessional!Crazy isn’t it, read so much on it for the past couple weeks and I can’t get over how common it seems to be. For the past 3 weeks, I’ve had movement which is identical to fetal movement (2 kids so I recognise it). I’ve had phantom kicks before but this is much stronger and literally all day every day. I’ve finally got a GP app tomorrow morning but I had to convince them and I heard the receptions take the piss out of me on the phone over this. I feel like I’m going mad but the movement is prominent at this point. I’ve had 3 negatives but I’ve read about the hook effect which is where you test negative if you test later on due to having such high hcg levels. I’ve also had odd periods these past 3/4 months and spotting in between them so there’s a chance they’re not actual periods. Whole thing’s driving me mad and I feel so embarrassed even getting medical help, I just know I’ll get belittled in tomorrow’s app either way.
Lines on a test won’t tell you anything, there are so many variables they are not accurate predictiors of levels of hCG. Also your symptoms will fluctuate daily and weekly as the placenta starts to take over.I’m really worried my lines on the pregnancy tests seem to be lighter than when I first test last week and my symptoms seem to have kinda stopped
I had a scan at 6 weeks and at 9 weeks without my partner! He couldn’t get one off work for the 6 weeks and the 9 weeks our son was sick so he had to stay at home with himQuestion, would you have an early reassurance scan without your partner? My husband is away for two weeks when I hit the point I can have one, and prior to that we are on holiday together. He said he doesn't mind if I go without him but I would rather wait until he can come with me. But by that time I will be 9-10 weeks so may as well wait for the 12 week scan? At the moment I'm kind of relaxed (maybe because it's not hit me yet) so I'm thinking unless I get any strange symptoms to just wait until the 12 week scan?
I would wait- it’s so special if you both go together and trigger warning hereQuestion, would you have an early reassurance scan without your partner?

I had to have my 7 week scan alone - toddler had a vomiting bug and so husband was in the car park with her so she didn’t pass it on (she’d stopped vomiting at that point but we didn’t want to risk it as less than 12 hours).Question, would you have an early reassurance scan without your partner?

don’t feel embarrassed, you know your body and you are entitled to ask for help! I’ve heard about the hook effect too so I think it’s perfectly valid and reasonable to see the GP! Good luck and make a complaint about those awful receptionists!Crazy isn’t it, read so much on it for the past couple weeks and I can’t get over how common it seems to be.

A friend of a friend (so not someone I know personally but have heard the full story from my friend!) gave birth in a hotel room, completely unaware they were pregnant. She’d been told she couldn’t have children so absolutely no reason to believe she could be pregnant and had been drinking and partying throughout (my friend said she’d put on a bit of weight but all over not a baby bump and she’d put this down to the drinking and going out lifestyle). Baby was fine though!Crazy isn’t it, read so much on it for the past couple weeks and I can’t get over how common it seems to be.
