Hi. I've just hit my 28 week mark in my 2nd pregnancy. The last few weeks I have been feeling quite nauseous at different parts of the day and have had a lot of feelings of breathlessness.
My doctor prescribed some tablets for the nausea but the pack says not to take while pregnant and to only take half the dosage that the doc has prescribed for me. So, I'm a bit wary of that. But I've read that nausea can be a sign of pre eclampsia and the spots I saw in the shower this morning, I'm a bit concerned I'm going to be developing it again. I've had some swelling of the feet, but nothing major and I took my blood pressure with a home blood pressure machine and it read 143/93. I know that's high, but the doctor said i shouldn't worry too much until it goes over 149/80 as i have naturally high blood pressure anyway.
My next doctors appointment isn't for another 2 weeks and I'm not sure whether I should bring it forward or just wait it out.
