    I had severe pre eclampsia with DD, and although I told my GP on several ocassions about the pains I was having, she kept dismissing them (until I trusted my instincts and fronted to the hospital with a blood pressure of 200/140!). Sorry for the hi-jack!
    If you're worried about pre eclampsia the pain would be (usually) tucked under the rib cage, in my case it was on the right side.

    I would rather feel like a dill and get it checked out than risk anything more developing (if that so be the case)....

    Thanks for the replies everyone...yes 30wks already eeeeeekkkk & DH is only just starting to paint the room needed.

    Leesa, yes I googled a few things & am a little worried about PE. The swelling just came out of no where & I do suspect I may have a UTI. I'm due to see the doc on Tues, but may go to the hosp tomorrow is I get the pains again. Just worried me as the pain was horrible, right under my boobs & I could not concentrate. Also yesterday, for no reason I threw up several times for no reason at all. Hmmm, perhaps I should get checked out sooner than later.

    Yep, under the right boob - that sent an alarm bell off in my head just as I read that...

    I agree with you, sooner rather than later hun. Any dull pains in the forehead region or visual impairments??

    nothing wrong with my vision, I've had a headache everyday for what seems like forever now. Just figured it was pregnancy & running after a naughty 2.5yr old. Think I might just pop in to the hosp in the morn & get a quick check. The other thing that got me wondering is usually I'm not big on arvo naps & today & yesterday I couldn't get enough sleep. oooh now I'm just starting to worry myself lol!

    Try not to worry about it (easier said than done) but I am officially banning you from the internet until you get checked out in the morning. Headache is another sign too.

    Keep me posted!

    As a nurse, I always advise anyone with any kind of chest pain to have it checked out regardless of their health or condition. Chest pain should not be ignored and always checked out.

    And I agree - keep away from google until after you're checked out! My X used to hide my medical books when I was pregnant for the same reason - self diagnosing is so bad for our mental health!

    Go to the hospital.
    It is probably nothing but it could also be HELLP Syndrome
