Advice needed please!
I’m 37 weeks tomorrow, have been classed as preeclamptic due to protein levels increasing, however my blood pressure has only been high once, therefore haven’t been put on medication. I was in DAU earlier this week due to a pain under my ribs, but was sent home as baby’s heart rate was healthy and now have had an awful headache and vision changes over the last 24 hours I haven’t been able to shake.
What should I do?

And if you go in take your hospital bag and leave it in the car x
You should ring triage or your MAU to inform them of your symptoms. I had pre-eclampsia in my first pregnancy and my trust take it very seriously. This time around I have to tell them of absolutely any symptom at any time, if I get anything. Pre-eclampsia is a serious condition that can change and worsen in an instant so you need to tell your hospital asap. Good luck!
Don’t risk it, I came in for reduced fetal movements and now I’ve been in for a week with hypertension and I’m being induced in a couple of days at 37weeks. It changes so fast you have to be careful xx
