    Alan? Anyone? Should I call the Dr (BP issues)

    I was diagnosed with PIH at my 10wk appointment and put on asprin. We are waiting to see if it gets bad enough to go on BP meds esp because Im so early on in the pregnancy. I developed PE with my last pregnancy at 33wks but managed to make it to 38wks before being induced.

    The last 3 days Ive had a dull headache and the odd spot of dizzyness. I havent thought too much of it but Ive also had 3 nose bleeds and just about everytime I blow my nose there is blood in the mucous. Ive also had stomach tenderness and cramps for about 2wks now and today I feel nauseous and my eyes are funny (like they hurt esp in light).

    Should I call my OB and see if I can see him or the nurse? I hate feeling like Im fussing over nothing but with these BP issues so early this pregnancy Im an even bigger worrier now

    Hey Anna

    I would...even if the outcome is to alleviate your worries, that's definitely worth it...

    Take care!

    Anna, I'd probably give your OB a call. then he can decide whether he needs to see you. Sounds awful. I hope it eases up for you.

    BP was ok, 130/85, not as low as it could be but nothing to panic about. No explanation for the headaches and other symptoms, just have to wait and see I guess.
