Been to the Dr's to get checked out. Blood pressure fine, Urine sample fine and ankles have gone down thanks to doing nothing all afternoon! Dr thinks warm weather and not taking it as easy as I should has caught up with me. Did have an hectic day yesterday though and was awake lots in the night due to the warmth.
Back to work Monday (If I can get past partner!) should be easier from Monday on as my mat replacement is starting, so two of us to do one job!
drink more water, get a fan, elevate your feet, I know it gets really hard in the last few weeks of work. I guess they've started you on maternity leave now though if you been sent home for pregnancy related reasons so at least you can relate and take it easy now!
Hi, if you start to feel worse within the next few hours i would get yourself checked out at the hospital. Take it easy for rest of the day and see how you feel later on. Put your feet up or go for a warm bath it could be your body's way off telling you nows the time to rest. I know you want to work as late as possible but dont put your or the babies health at risk for it. Put a cool compress on your head and elevate the feet to relieve fluid retention. Hope this helps x
I'm 37 weeks, still working but just been sent home as feet are like balloons and I feel really off it. I'm hot and a bit headachy, any tips?
ell done for still working! maybe this is ure body telling u to rest and stop work? put the tv on sit on the sofa with a drink and biscuit and chill, maybe put ure feet in water.
