I had another antenatal appointment this afternoon.

Everything was going alright until the midwife took my BP which it was 160/110..

She asked if i had been experiencing headaches and i said that yes i have and that i have about 2 migraines a month.

Then she asked me to hop on the bed where she measured my belly as normal, and felt for bubbas position straight after she said she was writing me a referal for bloods to be taken and for me to go upstairs to the birth suite to be monitored... she didnt say what it was for.

She asked if i had any questions before i headed off and i asked if what she was doing was normal procedure and should i be worried to which she said no.

I of course didnt listen and my heart starting racing, i wanted to bawl my eyes out i was scared as i didnt know what was wrong.

i got straight onto the pay phone and called my mum, my first instinct was to talk to my mum as its what i do when im upset. She said it sounds like they are monitoring me for pre eclampsia she calmed me down and off i went to pathology which only took not even 5 mins so we went up to the birth suite.

When i got there the midwives didnt seem to know about me coming up but soon enough they got me to pee in a cup and lay on the bed where i would have the monitors on me (total mind blank cant remember the name) one to monitor any contractions and the other to record bubs heart rate.

I was on the machines for a good hour and then they took me off and i had to wait for the blood test results as well my urine test result. Still nothing was said to me.

DP and i dozed off, he fell asleep in an arm chair and i in the bed and then after a little while there was a knock at the door and a doctor walked in. Asked me some weird questions about if i knew why i was here and what was going on to which i said no, told her exactly how my antenatal appt went and said i was concerned and confused.

She started rattling off a whole bunch of stuff, she said that my blood test came back normal, i did have very high BP and i had quite a bit of protein in my urine and she asked why it concerned then and i went to answer and she started to explain what pre eclampsia is.

She then said they will have to monitor me closely, i have to go back to the birth suite next wednesday for the same lot of tests also an ultrasound where the doctor wants to look at bubbas growth and if she isnt or hasnt grown properly i am going to be induced... but for the rest of my pregnancy any time i have a headache that panadol doesnt cure or i feel nausea, start vomitting or just dont feel right i am to call straight away.

I think i may have jinxed myself... at work today one of the guys asked how long i had left and i said 7 weeks but i said i would love for her to come today as im over it.. and then i go and have a shocker of an antenatal appointment.

I am just so blown away... dont know what to think or feel.
