Warning signs

[visitor1]

Jooleshere-Thanks for the advice I have only just moved here to Berwick, arrived on Tuesday, used to live in Moss Vale NSW. I wasnt prepared for the sudden temperature change.... and i sure dont like it either!! Im hoping that soon enough ill get around to meeting a few people in the area, seems like both my neighbours never come out of their house....in fact i never see any one around! LOL

Michelle- Dr said if things get worse give him a call or head up to the local hospital, my birthing hospital also said yesterday if things didnt go well at the drs today i was to call them asap and they would admit me i gave them a call and told them the outcome, so they are aware of the signs i have. For most of the pg i have had bad headaches, come and go in severity. But since the move from NSW the pressure seems to have risen and the swelling set in. Possibly stress and indeed the weather difference!!

Kim, today was an extremly hot day here in Vic, is it possible the swelling was from the heat? Your BP will also rise with increased body temp so like Jools said, trying to stay cool may help. Cool flannels to the back of the neck, under the arms, behind the knees and in the groin area can help to lower body temp. If you're anything like me, soaking my feet in cool water also helps me. You can decrease swelling in the lower extremeties by keeping them elevated. Other than that, good old rest is needed. Try not to stress about it but so keep an eye on your symptoms and let your doc or the hospital know if it gets worse or if you are worried at all.
