im having signs of toxemia could it just be pre labor symptoms?
im 38 weeks pregnant and at the middle of 37 weeks i developed swelling of my ankles fingers and face my blood preasure has always been normal (even durring a panic attack which is weird) and now is in the 130/80 to 148/80 or 90. also i feel like heart burn and nausea at same time but the heart burn feeling only in my stomach doesnt raise into throat. headach are grusome and my upper back in my shoulder blades hurt really bad. the spots in my eyes suck too. but i have a feeling when i go to the docs tommorow my toxemia test is gonna show nothing. i dont know why i feel this so strongly (maybe caz i think all docs are quaks) but i know like 70 percent there gonna say your fine. if so could all this just be pre labor symptoms? some people tell me you swell before goin into labor but all the other symps succkkk and i dont know if those could just be it too. starting to get crampy all the time but there not ever 5 mins but more intense than usual brax hicks.
Raised blood pressure is not normal, I had extreme swelling when I was pregnant, but blood pressure never raised. Even if your blood pressure comes out normal when they take it, make sure to let them know that it hasn’t been normal. If you know somethings not right, don’t leave until they give you an acceptable explanation, because high blood pressure could cause many problems and endanger the baby.

i am now 2 days overdue and i have had all the above except the swelling and all the docs told me to do was take some get a hot water bottle have some panadeine and try get more sleep as most of it is just hormones changing. but make sure you get checked out with your doc it could be something worse.
