Well scan was loverly today and met my lil girl who spent most of the scan showing off.

However the feckwits are it again. My consultant has asked for uterine artery dopplers at 22, 24 and 26 weeks and the radiology consultant is refusing. So im booked in for 24 weeks and thats it

Why do i bother thinking they might doeverything they promised

If the consultant has said thats what your getting surely they can't go against him? Thats so ridiculous x

Ive text my midwife asking how i contact my consultant so i can at least find out if hes gonna fight my corner on this or just let me down again. Really quite fed up of this now.

That is frigging ridiculous!! How the hell can the radiology consultant go against your own consultant?? Hopefully you can contact your consultant, but I just think that is terrible!! xx

Good luck getting things sorted chick! Don't get me started of how pants hospitals are though!!!!

Xxx

Well no answer from my mw (quelle surprise) im nt sure if she works fridays though so if no answer by mon will try ringing maternity outpatients and seeing how contact the team cos im well annoyed

You shouldn't have to fight for the care you need! x

No i couldnt agree more but seems im gonna have to every step of the way or they will cock it all up again

I'd love to go backk to when things were simple and you could trust your doctor!

Sounds like your hospital and mine are reading from the same book on how to stress pregnant women with high BP even more!!

Xxx

Tell me about it clare. Actually had a few headache free days last week and now ive been banging away since yesterday with a bp of 160/90 again after ithad gotten down to 130-140/80-85

Mine went down this morning but is back up now! Am damn sure it's the hospital!!

Xx

How can they stress you out that much and NOT expect your bp to go up!

No idea, its been u all day and its taken 3 pints of squash and 2 cocodamol to shift the bad head tonight. Poor kinky must be fit to bust

Well the 3 pints of squash and cocodamol controlled it til bedtime and i drank another pint overnight but ive woken uo with a nicely growing nigglein middle of forehead so im not confident its gonna stay away. This section is being dominated by our two posts kinks. Its lik pre eclampsia R us in here lately xxx

Lol! It's my only way of staying sane atm!!! I have also made a huge effort to drink lots too and that's no help either!!!

Hope your headache behaves!

Xxx

Heads not been too bad today but been 130-140/90 today all day

lol Mario at pre-ec.'R'us

It's so annoying that the shoddy care only worsens your state of mind and well being which increases symptoms.... argh! - viscious circle for you! x

Its a bit of a crap shop to be honest grace. Mostly filled with bp monitors and piss sticks

Im unsure why mines creeping up again and frustrated cos t was finally starting to dip back under the 80s with being at home.

You lot must be so bored of my bp readings! Sorry

I'm finding them quite useful tbh, plus by the time I get to your stage and start worrying you'll be an expert and I can ramble at you lol

Feel free anytime. Went into work and pinched a pot of pee sticks this week. And my mates bringing me over her bp monitor cos mine keeps going nuts and giving error messages every 3rd reading now and eating batteries like its going out of fashion stupid thing. She says i can use hers til Awen arrives

I'm going to get some off ebay, they are only cheap and I htink I'll need them for peace of mind, I bought a bp monitor after I had Ollie because my bp was going crazy, so I'm all sorted lol

Don't flipping talk to me about peeing in pots and bp monitors!!!

Xx

Oh hon its awful for you. Keep us updated on that doctors round today. You are at term 2moro time for bubby to make an entrance eh!

Any news yet hun ? x
