I was borderline gestational diabetes at my GTT and i was refered to the dietician 7 weeks ago and i still havent heard anything from them (even though my mw has chased them up), then at my 34 weeks check up my bp was raised to 140/90 which i was told is high but not to worry as its on the higher side of normal.... but the midwife told me if i get headaches and get any swelling then i need to contact her.

Well the past 2 days i have been EXTREMELY tired, had swollen ankles and keep getting headaches. I just generally feel so deflated and ill, not right at all really!

I dont have an appointment to see anyone till a week today which will be my growth scan and consultant check up,but i dont like to bother my midwife as i feel silly if there is nothing wrong!

I dont know what to do. I could actually just go back to bed and cry myself to sleep to be honest, i feel that tired!!!!!

If I was you I would call your MW now, that is what they are there for. It could be nothing but it could also be Pre-Clampsia, which really needs to be diagnosed and monitored. Don't wait til next week please

I would call now hun, if you dont want to bother your midwife (which you shouldnt worry about cos its their job ;-P) then call the labour and delivery suite. I had preeclampsia with last pregnancy and its not nice. Dont worry about feeling silly, just imagine how you would feel if something was wrong and you hadnt gone in, will be worth it and they wont make you feel silly. Best of luck hun and keep us updated
