Sorry about all the posts but maybe it is something.

I have been doing a lot of research for the past few hours and i am concerned about what I am finding. I am now 30 weeks and for the past few days (since Thursday) I have had severe headaches, pain in my upper abdomen, I have been feeling like my heart is going to jump out of my chest and sleeping alot more than normal. My face and hands have also been getting more swolen. I was looking through my What to Expect when your Expecting and online and have got the same response. Pregnancy Induced Hypertynsion. I do have a doctors appointment tomorrow but I am so scared that I cant sleep. Could this be something else....... HELP

well at 37 weeks and 6 days my BP was 170/101 and they told me too lay on my left side..they came back and checked on me after a few minutes and it had gone up...the doc said "har far do you live from here" i said about 20-30 min. 'well dont go home, just go walk around walmart for an hour or 2 and if you still feel the same go straight over to the hospital i will have your paper work ready for them" i didnt listen..i went home took a shower changed clothes and grabbed my just in case bag and then i went.....i had no pain or wasnt feeling any contractions but the monitor said i was having them every 2-3 minutes like clock work...didnt feel them until about 5-10 minutes after i had dialated to 6-7 then i got my epidural and with 1-2 hours at exactly 38 weeks my lil man was here!

Thanks when I have gone to the doctor every time but one my blood pressure was great. I went on March 10th and the nurse said my blood pressure was high and made me lay on my left side for a few minuets and took it agian. Is it possible for something to show up this late in pregnancy. I always thought it showed up earlier... Thanks

this could also be low iron, or high blood pressure...my SIL experienced both with her 1st and this exactly how she described it.....if this is what it is then there isn't much to worry about but the docs will put you at on bed rest with your feet elveated to relive the selling and plenty of fluids! hopefully it's nothing more.....i hope you the best!
