I had my Ob appt yesterday, and it didn't go as well as I would have liked.

So far in this pg everything has been going really well, I even told my Ob last time that I was his easiest pt! Bubs appeared to be growing really well, (almost too well for my liking!) and my BP is usually around 115/60. I think the lowest was 110/50 and the highest was 120/70.

Yesterday we had a little chat and then I hopped on the bed. He took my BP sitting up and I could see the systolic reading was about 130. He didn't say anything, took it again, and it was the same. I said I didn't like the look of it, and he said he would take it again after checking the HB.

So he palpates my tummy, and says "I would guess this measures around 26" measures the fundal height, and it's 27 cm. Well it was 26 last time, so I'm not feeling too good about that! DH has his hand on my leg by now, we're both a tad worried. Ob gets out the doppler, it took him a minute to find the HB, but he said it sounds good.

I sit up again, but of course I'm a bit concerned now so my BP is still up around 130/80 NOT HAPPY JAN! He questions me as to whether I've been getting any headaches, swelling etc, I say not recently which he is happy with. He says we need to keep an eye on my BP, but not to be concerned about it.

I am seeing him again at 32 weeks and we will have a scan just beforehand to check fetal growth, placental function etc. I'm glad he wrote the referral cos I would have asked for one anyway! We then had a nice chat about RLT, the hotel program at my hossy etc and I felt okay. But by the time I got in the lift I wanted to cry.

Now, I know that fundal height isn't always considered an accurate representation of growth, and I think that's why he's not too bothered. And I also know that my BP could have been a little higher than normal for a number of reasons, or maybe just no reason at all. But I still feel quite concerned and I'm worried that I'm doing something wrong. And of course worrying isn't going to help lower my BP, so I need to get over it!

I know I can call my Ob or the hossy at any time if I'm really worried, but I still feel sick. Am I just being an over-protective mummy-to-be?

ETA I forgot to mention to my Ob that on occasion lately I see white spots, like stars in front of my eyes. Sometimes when I've been bending over, sometimes not. Should I mention that or keep my mouth shut?!
