Should i ring the MW.. my hands and feet are constantly swollen.... i dont know if my face is.. i avoid mirrors just now.. haha. But is it just hands that are a sign of pre-eclampsia or is it hands and feet or hands and feet and face??

go get it checked out hun - may be the start of your blood pressure going up so you should call her and at least go in to make sure you have no other symptoms

what are the other symptoms.. just high blood pressure? can the gp determine it if theres no mw appts? (shes only here for 1 hour every friday so 4 appts-i see her a week 2moro but i could just ring the gp surgery in the AM and ask for a same day appt..with anyone?!)

are headaches a sign?!

Headaches and blurred vision are a sign too, hon. I'd get checked out xx

off you jolly well pop to the gp - and if you cant get an appt, then ring your antenatal clinic and see what they suggest - they might tell you to go to A&E or to the fetal assessment unit.

Let us know how you get on sweetpea
