    Did this doctor you saw take your blood pressure? I had the exact same problems at around the same time in my pregnancy and it was high blood pressure, it was the start of pre-eclampsia (a dangerous condition for both mum and baby)

    I highly suggest you get that done, and make sure you speak to your obstetrician. If you can't see or speak to them, then go to ER. Do not delay in this. If it is not that then it is ok, but if it is, and I AM trying to scare you, it needs to be checked asap!

      Thanks for replying yes she didn't today but did every other time and I've had low blood pressure mainly during this pregnancy but now it's 80/110 or other way round and told it's perfect although I do have all the signs for it all the tests are saying no x

      Sorry to be alarmist, but I agree about getting your blood pressure checked again. Pre-eclampsia can start VERY quickly, I'm surprised your pressure wasn't checked as a matter of course. Take care and good luck with your baby!
