My sister is 35 weeks pregnant and has been feeling unwell for the past couple of days. This is what she's got:
* for the past couple of days she's being experiencing bad swelling in her feet, legs and fingers with tingling as well.
* For the past 48 hours she's had horrible stomach pains (and being a first time mum isn't sure if they're braxton hicks or not). Panadol, massage and warm bath isn't helping.
* And for the past 12 hours she's had diarreah.
She called me this morning to ask what she should do as she's starting to get a little worried/nervous. I've told her to call the birth suite and get monitored. I really don't like the sound of the swelling and tingling.
It's so hard that I'm up here in Cairns, she's on the Sunny Coast and for the weekend mum is in Sydney.
So, please help me to stop worrying. Obviously there isn't much I can do, but I can't help worrying about her. I dunno, is there a reason I should be worrying at all?
