Congratulations buttons on another girl, its great having a sister, i have two & we get on great.

Things havent been to good this past week. I've been seeing star's in my eyes which isnt unusual for me, i had the same from 18 weeks pregnant with my last pregnancy & the MW's wernt concerned at all. But i felt awful on Wednesday, my lower bump hurts quite bad. I thought it was just from my son kicking me there when i change his nappy but it started hurting when i go to stand or sit too.

I went to see the MW at the walk in hour they do at our childrens centre. I told her all my complaints & she did all the usual checks, BP, urine & listened to baby. The BP was fine but i have traces of protine & something else (cant read what she put on notes) in my urine so she has had to send a sample off to the lab for testing. Just got to wait & for the results now but she never said what she thought it might be. I've had really bad head aches the past couple of days too, i think they may be migranes which i do get but i normally get blured vision with those too which i havent had any of. Paracetamol has done nothing so far Thankfully a good nights sleep last night has helped.

I think it may be stress causing my problems, things arnt great at home right now & things with me & OH are kinda up in the air :'(

At least I have the 20 week scan to look forward to monday

Hope everyone else is feeling well x

Ah Torz i'm sorry things haven't been going so well for you. Stress can cause lots of problems so try to take it easy if you can hun....easier said than done, i know.
Would it be ketones you had in your urine? I know puppycat has those with her hyperemesis when she gets dehydrated and has to go to hospital for a drip. That can cause headaches too. (dehydration) Not certain - just a thought. If i've got that wrong pups, sorry!!

Hope your scan goes well on monday. Are you going to find out the gender? Have you got someone going with you to it?

 

[puppycat]

Yeh I get ketones when I haven't eaten for a while (from being sick usually). It's largely believed to be from dehydration but it's actually starvation which causes your body to use it's fat stored for energy hence producing ketones. Ketoacidosis is toxic to a fetus and so they flush your body clean with IV fluids. Although, granted, when I went in I was actually dehydrated too. The ketones themelves make you feel nasty though. They always give me a bad taste in my mouth, so I generally know I have them before I POAS.

Sorry I got a bit of an essay going there!

Lol.

Anyway, if you have protein in your wee I'd say it could be leukocytes she found in which case sounds like a UTI chick. They're very common in pregnancy (and very painful )

 

[puppycat]

Oh my I think I study wee too much

I dreamt last night that they scanned me and i was having a girl. We're not even finding out! Lol
