Should I push the panic button?

[forshelby]

Ok, I'm feeling really strange. When I move or get up, or sometimes even when lying down still I have this throbbing sensation through my body. I can feel my pulse in my FEET. I feel it in my butt..... legs...... all over. Is this something I should worry about? Could it be related to high bp? I had a high reading a few days ago and am getting a bit concerned with this strange feeling as well. Other than this I feel totally fine, not stressed out or anything like that.

I also occasionally feel like my heart is pounding. Nothing severe, just.... like it's beating a bit harder than normal.

What do I do?

I have no idea, but I'd go get checked out anyway.

I would ring the the Hospital or MW who you are seeing and talk to them on the phone. I would think they would want to see just in case with those symptoms.

I'm not oficially booked in with any hospital yet, and I don't have a private midwife. Just my gp. That just adds to the confusion!

[Arimeh]

Umm... can you ring the nearest hospital and talk to one of the triage nurses and see whether they think its worth coming into emergency?

When I was pregnant I could always feel my pulse all over my body. Pulsating in my ears etc

I was told it's totally normal
Your baby must have a strong heartbeat

If it were me I'd be getting checked out just for peace of mind if nothing else

Good Luck x

Ring your GP, if they have closed for the day, they would have and after hours number to ring or a Hospital number for you to ring.
Pretty sure it's nothing to panic about, just worth having a chat to someone about your symptons over the phone. Also let them know you had a high blood pressure reading a couple of days ago too when you are talking them.
