Cash & Gage’s Mom asked:
I feel like a hypochondriac now because I actually called them last week for a different reason. For a good deal of my pregnancy I would get dizzy spells and see spots in my perifiel (sp?) vision. I know this is a sign of preeclampsia but I have always had pretty low blood pressure when I go in for check ups (avg anywhere from 104/60 to 114/60). Well for the past 2 days I have had dizzy spells so bad I come close to blacking out and the spots and today I am so physically exhausted it is hard to stand. Should I be worried? Last week I called my doctor and told the nurse I was having random contactions over the weekend and then a ton of pressure on Monday and she said it was “very concerning” and I needed to come in right away. It obviously scared me. When I got there they checked my cervix (completely closed) and gave me the fetal fibronectin test that came back neg and said I was fine. Am I just too paranoid? I am afraid that when the nurse calls back she will scare me again.
Oops sorry, I will be 31 weeks on Thursday.
