Pre-eclampsia / advice please!!

So I posted that I haven't been feeling well as of late. It started with a bad chest/cough. But now I'm getting excruciating headaches. Mainly at night. Also mainly worse in the dark (weird) I know you have to be wary of headaches due to pre clampsia. I've also noticed the last couple days my feet have been getting so fat! So it's like 10.40pm here and cannot sleep! My head is killing, I want to cry! Should I go to the doctor now or could it wait till morning? Not sure how serious this is. Ps I'm 37+5

I would go get a blood test to see if you have it. It shows up in the last three months if u have it so it will show on a blood test.

I've also been having worse heartburn than normal that I can't get rid of. But, Hmm maybe it's just cos I'm unwell then. It's such a nightmare not knowing what to do for the best! Maybe I'll just go see the doctor cos I definitely can't sleep! And then thwy can check my blood pressure

I think it's best if you go the the hospital to be checked out. Waiting may just make things worse
